Fork looks a bit odd, and saddle needs putting down. And is it me, or do those cranks look really long??

[b]Versatility[/b]: The long seatpost allows the rider to sit down when riding.
[b]Restricted use[/b]: Rider weight < 90 kg and jump height < 2.5 metres

Looks nice though...

90kg is 14 stone. 2.5 metres is a fair bit of air too.cut the seatpost down.

double wall rims f and r, kmc chain. kenda tyres...5 yr warranty on frame.. that's good. although it may be weighty.

Oh I know, wasn't having a pop at that (how could I, I can't even get off the ground let alone 2.5 metres!) just thought it a bit odd to put in there is all, along with the weight limit. Funny thing re. the versatility comment though, wrong sort of thing for this type of bike surely!

fork look fine.. it's just the graphics and cut away..
stick a xeno fork on it, run just a rear brake and you're laughing.

Who runs a front brake on a jump bike? Just one more thing to snap/snag/tangle.

Someone at Swinley has a cr-mo jump bike with vertical dropouts and the mech hanger taken off (must me magic ratio and/or exentriker?) looks so clean! I'd almost forgive him if he ran it brakeless!
