ellisworth is known for pathetic customer service, I'd steer clear of the dare. Then again if you're looking for a used frame at least the dare is still in production, although parts may not be interchangeable from one year to the next, you might be able to get Tony to sell you a replacement swingarm or some other part if it breaks. The M1 on the other hand is going to be difficult if not impossible to find replacement parts for if something breaks.
Both bikes are supposed to ride really well, as long as you realize these bikes are somewhat fragile compared to other downhill bikes and ride them accordingly either should be fine. For jumping and freeride I'd really reccomend something else though.

I thought they gave up support for the M1 at some point last year. I'm probabally wrong though.
...broke my Joker 3 times before I wised up and sold it :mumble:
I can understand an occasional accidental double post, but your two were 40 minutes apart. What's up with that?hooples3 said:
I'd go with the m1. I've heard an awful lot of bad things about ellsworth(sp?)customer service.
i'd definitely go with the m1 not because im selling one but because i absolutely love the bike its incredible just too bad i have nothing within riding distance or else i would keep mine
