Hello, I have been lurking for a while but never posted!

I am thinking about getting a "jump" bike and found the giant brass 3 on sale, does anyone own one?

I am 6ft 5 so was wondering if the large would be big enough?

Please post pictures and experiences of your jump bikes for some inspiration!

Cheers
Dave

No one owns a jump bike?

I own a jump bike but it's not a Giant Brass 3*.

I can tell you that being 6'5" will make any jump bike feel small, but not as small as a BMX and it's not an issue as you'll always be standing up on (or lying beside it in a heap 😆 .

* A quick google shows an alloy frame. Ideally you'd want a cromo frame - especially if you're a big lump.

Here's a pic of my DMR Drone (only £100ish more) and a wee vid from a few years back.

Thanks for the reply, I am a fair size lump so will have a look for a cromo frame!

Quite like the look of the specialised p series and the dmr's look good!

Only want one to mess around on pump tracks and local dirt jumps, looks fun though!
