F-Stop Junkie Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The DMR catalogue had pictures of Eddie Tongue gapping one when it came out. Quite a few people had them at the time, but DMR got increasingly frustrated by trials riders returning kit under warrenty, and when the sidekick developed a following as a jump bike they continued to develop it alongside the trailstar, but without trials in mind.

La Bourde Posted October 25, 2006 Report Share Posted October 25, 2006 The bottom bracket is too low, the chainstay too long...If you are riding street trial, buy an Echo or a Zoo or an Giant STP ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eskimo Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 It was trials specific about 3 years ago.Right on. But who says you couldn't ride trials on it today?Hard work but none the less it was a nice frame. I don't know if the geometry has changed much.People run bmx race frames on ramp.
