Urban/dj/slopestyle Hardtail

**matt2991** · 12-04-2006, 01:50 PM

So i Do urban assault, djs, and some FR. I am looking for a hardtail. Perferably complete but frame only is fine. I do slopestyle as well. Any suggestions. Main concern for me is weight.

transition vagrant? or a steel frame like .243 or and swd

How about a price range and target weight...

**matt2991** · 12-04-2006, 02:34 PM

I am on sort of a low budget. Like $1200. Not sure really about weight. I mean I wanna do urban and FR so I don't wanna be riding some 40 pound beast.

transition vagrant sound good for you then

**matt2991** · 12-04-2006, 02:41 PM

Isn't the vagrant heavy?

**ZHendo** · 12-04-2006, 03:21 PM

yes, the vagrant is like 6.5 lbs. the yeti dj is also kinda heavy at 6.0 lbs, but the geo on that bike is spot on. my first choice would be the yeti, but also consider maybe a cove foreplay or some smaller company like dobermann bikes.

i ride a dobermann molosse and its would be unreal for the urban part but i would never want to freeride with it. 243fr, cove foreplay, or an addict would be what id recomend

imperial or soul cycles sluggo

I back Eren up. Go for the Vagrant. It wont let you down. The little bit of weight you gain over other HT's will be worth it for a ride that you will enjoy, and that will last you for years.

cannondale chase totally. Nice and stable for slopestyle bigness and super tough.

Imperial!!!!!! I love mine

Ive got an Orange Crush (with a couple of upgrades. I love it because I can do abit of everything on it. Light enough for XC but burly enough for 4X, dirt, street and slopestyle. Its hand-made in England, using Easton RAD tubing, so you know the quality is top notch.
