Old and Busted DJer

No not me. Not yet anyway.

I bought this 2001 K2 Flying Monkey as a new bike in early 2003. (I miss Supergo.) I have ridden the crap out of it over the past 5 years and replaced the parts one at a time until the cheap crap was all gone.

It really hadn't been ridden much over the last year and I decided to install a dj fork, lower the seat and go single speed. The DJ4 fork was cheep from the RM classifieds.

I have been riding it a lot more recently. It is pretty sweet set up like this.

This is how it looked when I bought it. Kind of wack.

I'd be leery of an aluminum frame that old.... fatigue is due if it's been ridden hard.
Looks much better now though. :D

What about the GL? Ya give'n up on 24's?

I ride em both. Whatever I feel like that day. The Lee is better for steeper BMX type jumps.

Yeah, I will be swapping the frame out sooner or later when I find a decent used one.

I still have the fender here somewhere. It reminds me of the 1980ish motocross lookalike bikes my friends had.
