Allright, so I was looking at getting a new bike. I was gonna go balls out and buy a frame then all the components, etc. I was looking at the FQ Full Suspension Urban.

FQ Full Suspension Urban (http://www.brooklynmachineworks.com/bikes_FQ.htm)

I just wanted to know if any monekys have one and what they think of them? Also, if this is a good choice, what a good 5" travel fork for a 24" wheel would be?

Thanks

Honestly, I think that bike is lame. It looks HEAVY. The jackshaft is kinda pointless, it has a 70 dagree HA, and its a 24 only.

Well that's a mighty intelligent thing to say! Montashu here must have been last in line when brains were handed out! Who cares about what montashu THINK _look_ heavy! hello!!!!!!! :mad:

You are the retard here my friend. There are many other times when you are more than welcome to call me dumb, but how does my distaste for a bike make me a retard? It is a valid point that there is no need for full suspention on a street bike, and that the jackshaft is not needed. The 24 inch only rear wheel limits what can be used on the bike, if they allowed for a 26 then thoes who want a 26 can run one, and thoes who want a 24 can also use one. I also think that a 70 dagree make the bike to twichy for my taste. On another note, SHOOO NOOB!!!

btw just get the park bike if you want a nice bmw, w/ a 5" for u can do almost anything on one.
