Jay, don't email me to ask me what I mean, use the forum. What I mean is, what do you want people to say? You've described your bike, you've not asked any questions
see the photo in my avatar .... thats my old b17 circa 2000 .... lasted 6 months
but then it wasnt designed to be hucked .... snapped doing a 15 foot stepdown to pain ....lucky it was onto grass and just rolled to a hault ...thanks to body armour and full face helmets
the same step down cracked my DMR trailstar at the headtube gusset :(
