But cost a mere £299 its a good bet anyway. Thats whats next on my shopping list after my inspired fourplay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
middleageman Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 Bear in mind, I have f* all riding experience on jump bikes, but as I was looking into buying one - until I discovered Trials! I did a fair bit of research and found the Identiti 666s quite appealing. It was also MBUK's 'jump bike test' winner in 2008 I believe and has a great review on bikeradar.com. Full build £600 ish and frame only £250. Available in 24" or 26". But hey, wtf do I know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austen Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 (edited) I have a transition, and it rides amazing! So if i were to choose it would be the transition over the drone any day. You should also look into NS bikes, as they are high quality frames/bikes, and they apparently ride really well! Im getting an NS Suburban as soon as i get the money haha:). But if you are wanting to stick to DMR then get the transition, you won't be disappointed! Edited May 6, 2009 by austen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davey1991 Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I've never really liked the way they ride, but its down to personal preference i guess. The standard set-up isn't brilliant but some wider bars with a shallow angle make it feel much much nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gogz- Posted May 6, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I was thinking the Transition . The Geo looks better and its purple Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
austen Posted May 6, 2009 Report Share Posted May 6, 2009 I was thinking the Transition . The Geo looks better and its purpleThe purple is nice untill it gets to the left chainstay/dropout when it goes to bright blue. Don't see why they've done this on all the new frames You won't be disappointed with a transition if you get one, just stick 100mm forks on it and itll be amazing to ride.

curt-echo-control Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 If your front wheel can take 20mm axle, merlin cycles are selling new dj2s with 20mm bolt through for £80, saves you £120 on the other dj2's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
