BITD before I went all DH and park BMX I used to hammer a DMR Trailstar around the streets and local dirt jumps. Mine was an early one about 97 or 98 (ended up sprayed a awfull camo colour with rattlecans) and I rode it to death untill it got sold (probably to buy skunk and cider :roll: ) At the time most of my mates had jump bikes too and I remember being envious of my mates Orange Missile and another lad who had a very nice Kona Chute. Recently I have got together some of the parts that were on it and have started out of mainly spare parts and odd items picked up cheaply building up a spec for one. I am now planning to build the 'battle cruiser' up again. All I really need is the frame and a few trick bits so which one would people go for? I know there are quite a few but which would be the best an old DMR or look for the Kona or the Orange. The build will be as bomb proof as you can get really with Z1 drop offs, DMR and Truvativ crank set and bash gaurd, D521 on hope hubs, magura HS33, SDG saddle and a few other retro Azonic and Kore trick bits. All advice greatly received as i would like to keep it quite period.
P.S. I might replace the Marin Eldridge Grade with this as I am finding modern full sussers more fun for off road and its just not so fun for riding to work (I want something to tear up the streets and pull ridiculous wheelies around town! :twisted: )
