My thoughts exactly.... Dmr OWN.
Ns bikes are wicked, paint on them is shi*e though.
I've had two dmrs, and they've both rode amazingly well, my current dmr transition rides perfectly in my eyes, jumps/rides so so well.
Every norco/mongoose ive had a shot off ride horribly, so don't go for them.
I'd say go for a dmr, as you can get a dmr drone fairly cheap second hand, and the quality of dmr bikes is epic. And also the dmr drone reptoid, rides well standard, and it'll take all the abuse you can throw at it.
