MadManMike Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 That is a new very nice DMR you have there. Just wondering what the frames are like as im after a more streety feel on my steed?Well compared to the Barracuda Ghetto and the DMR Trailstar I've had previously it's really nice. It feels even nicer with higher bars - I think the Wingbars are 2" rise or 1.5", the new ones I put on are 3". If you ever come to Hastings or I meet you on a ride you can have a spin and see what you think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkyT Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I'm looking at getting into dj. What bikes would you reccomend? I'm after one with some gears, front suspension and 26" wheels. I have been looking at Specialized P series, Mongoose Fireball and GT.What are the Barracuda's and saracen's like?My budget is £400 tops, ideally £300.Cheers, Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan_addison Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Dont touch saracens or barracudas ther to much work. Ive spent waaaay to muvh money on my saracen to get half decent and now all the parts are bit out dated all 06 really. Not sure but i think the DMR drone is fairly cheap cant remember exaclty how much but within your budget i think. Ill get a link later rudeboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bikeperson45 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 The new saracens are good I'd say (2008) they don't just use RST forks anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 On a DJ bike I'd avoid gears mate, you'll be adjusting them forever.Get a DMR Drone or Transition for your budget, they are solid bikes for the money! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
