Hey

Been thinking of late of getting back into my cycling (read; arsing about)

Want a bike that I can mainly do Street and Trials, with some downhilling for shits and giggles.

Been looking at the DMR Drone. I know I'd need sus up front, but for £349 in some places how does it sound?

I'd run a mile at the sight of a single speed bike with no suspension, but I spose I'm probably missing the point. It seems to get decent reviews.

I've a few mates that live close by that do a fair bit of street and the like. Seems like a giggle, used to do a bit of DH but always sucked, getting a bit fitter now and this can only help!

Pfft to your gears, sir.

Maybe because you did it on a bike with one gear and no suspension? Wink

Amen to that!

DH bikes and street/trails bike are totally different animals!

I can understand doing singletrack and DH, you would probably get away with that (though I wouldn't fancy the climbs on a DHer)

Though I would like to see you take on a DH track on a trails bike!

All I can say is....buy plenty of body armour! Twisted Evil
