JamesW Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Hi. I am looking for a adult dirt jump bike that is good but not too expensive. I have a full suspension bike which i use for dirt jumps but it keeps on breaking' and it is expensive to replace the parts. With the bike that i have now i custom built it form the frame' forks and rear shock. It is a trek remedy 29 2016. It has broken multiple times and it is just taking money away from me. Thats why i need a dirt jump bike that can handle being jumped on the dirt. I'm only young but I'm 6ft tall so the bike has to be strong and tough. If anyone has any suggestions that i could look at that would be great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Are you thinking new or second hand? Any idea of budget? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted January 11, 2021 Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Did you consider a BMX? It is cheap and tough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesW Posted January 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2021 Second hand or new. and my budget is about 300 and under Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La Bourde Posted January 12, 2021 Report Share Posted January 12, 2021 (edited) With this budget you can only get something used... It will be hard to find a decent dirt mtb. It will have cheap wheels that you will damage quickly as soon as ou try rotation. So go for a second hand dirt/street BMX.

If I had a bigger budget what bike should i buy? Edited January 12, 2021 by JamesW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 "Jumping" in to this thread... What's the deal with jump bike prices these days? I remember when I couldn't give away a half decent DMR, now you can't find anything half decent for less than £600. I'd quite like a jump bike to mess around on / ride to the pub on, but I don't want to spend that much really... Is there a secret stash of cheap-ish jump bikes that I'm missing?

Private Repress Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 You can pick up a Giant STP for the £300 mark second hand. There has been a few on eBay recently, I know as I bought two to make a front sus trials bike. If you are prepared to upgrade the parts yourself it can work out quite well... I’ve just turned this; Into this: I appreciate this is a trials build, but STP stands for street, trails, park. The geo is great for an all round fun machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadManMike Posted April 11, 2021 Report Share Posted April 11, 2021 To be honest, that bike even as it was would do me - £300 for something like that would do nicely. I'll keep an eye out for them, cheers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dang, that was a year ago... lol It’s now a 26 - when I bought it, it came with trashed 24 inch wheels. They did have hope bulb hubs, so I sold those to get some money back towards project. the frame was designed to be a 26. It’s great fun to ride, seems to handle anything I try throw at it. I am considering running a larger front ring so I can use it for the occasional XC ride too. I’ll still have a bash guard though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
