hi guys i just snapped my avanti derilikt frame on some jumps today and i need a new frame. what would you recomend for a good 26", dirt jump frame. i need it to be tough and around the $700 mark. i need it to take hard hits and be light but im willing to give up a bit of weight for strength. it cant be single speed either.

p.s. i did a quick search but found nothing that could help me

^^^ read again, he said frame not bike, try search again there have been heaps of threads about this.

here are some frames anyway:

Duncon pussy $730 i think chromo

NS suburban $750 chromo

ive owned both, both great frames



frames with sliding vertical dropouts:

Toy4 $1000ish aluminium

Duncon cocker 800ish aluminium


most horizontal drop out frames have chaintugs with a deraliur hangar on it but why would you want to run gears on a dj bike. I can think of plenty of other frames just not to sure on whether or not you can run gears on them.

the reason i'm running gears is because im salvaging all i can from the derelikt and dont want to spend to much money

obviously you dont know.. stp frames are around 200 second hand and i dont know if you can get them new unless you buy the whole bike.. if you could get them new they'd only be around $400 anyways..

I'd say a Duncon Pussy. They're not as common as the NS bikes so you can be different. I've never ridden one but from what I hear they are awesome.

if ur not after new, you could get a like new frame: http://forums.farkin.net/showthread.php?t=62619
this frame runs 24 or 26", runs gears or SS, whole rear wheel can be adjusted with the ADS (Adjustable drop out system)
rest of the identiti frames can be seen at
www.identitibikes.com


otherwise:
the NPJ's run quite nicely and there seems to be alota hype over the NS's (personally im not a fan of cromo, i prefer alum.) but the Duncon hav also had pretty sweet reviews and thoes colours :eek: hotness haha
