Should I?

I am thinking about a new dirt jumper

What do you think of this thing. Looks like a pretty good deal?! The whole bike is about $750. I need to see if the top tube is long enough for me however.

This one is great for simplicity i am wondering which would be a better value.

Besides the P1 being a SS speed they almost look identical.I like the looks of the P2 alot.It has a good top tube angle and looks like a 8" rotoron the front and a 6" on the rear.
How do they compare in price:confused: If the same i would lean towards the P2.One of the locals here has a old P3 and man can he rip on that thing.He puts us DS guys to shame most of the time:D

Price is only $250ish different. Mechanical 6 and 8 inch disc on the P2 deraileur and bash gaurd. I would say the money is worth while... I may have to splurge and buy one :eek:

Ooh, nice :)
Have you seen the '03 range of Norco's? There's a singlespeed cromo 24" with the DJ forks and discs, and the Hun range of bikes with gears would probably compare in price to these Specialised machines.
I think whatever you go for you'll get an awesome bike that is more than capable of whatever you want to do with it (besides commuting and climbing hills :eek: )

man the norcos have whacky angles i would stick with the specialized or if you want a sweet jumper a khs bitch...same angle as 24s just differant ;)

I am thinking the Specialized too.. I need to see one and see if it is too cramped. Then their is the $$$ thing.... :(

My p2 came into the shop a few days ago, i test rode it (i dont have all the money yet). it feels awsome.

The only thing is even the large is TINY....... check out the geometry

MB, you going to see if you can make it out to Plattekill this year?


And I like both the p1 and p2
