a little too bmx for me. throw a rear der and a front brake and we'd be talking.

i just have no idea why anybody would have an urban bike without a front brake.

actually the no front brake thing is a dirt jumping thing, my Mosh rocks the rear only setup, if that IF was gonna hit the streets I would put a front stopper on it.

I don't dig having to use a tensioner. But it still a nice looking bike. :)

Looks really nice. Agreed though, id put a front brake and maybe a few cogs in the rear.

If it is ment for more Dirt jumping, why do you need 140mm of travel?

Why not?...140 is pretty short travel and still lets the bike be ridden on the trails and not feel like a rigid.

Is it a purpose built single speed? If so, I don't quite get the chain tensioner. Rear facing dropouts would have been a better choice. Still, it looks like a fun bike.

Hoenstly, after building my steelhead into a "Urban" bike, I realized how gay it is to do that on a mountian bike.

hmm.

I wouldn't mind having the 140, but I still think if I had a bike just build for doing DJ's, I would only have around 100 or 120.
