Heyy, I've been ridin street for not long (3 maybe 4 months) and im only 6' around 150 lbs and i have a old DK General Lee which isnt all that good of a bike but the only thing stock on it is the frame and forks. I love the bike (it is over 850 dollars), but I want to get a lighter bike now that I've got pretty good at bunny hops with a heavy bike and it's obvious that my muscles have grown and become a lot stronger but I'm just wondering if the DK Fury is a good bike (I'm changing the stem, sprocket, cranks, pedals, and seat). Please tell me what you think.

I really hope you are kidding. I don't know how you even fit into a small toptube like that, and then to buy a whole new bike after spending nearly $850 on it has got to be the dumbest thing you could do. Just buy a new frame.
yeah, but still, is it a good bike for its price?

The Fury is ok, for a race bike. It's aluminum, which isn't as strong as chromoly.
oh, do you think the Kink Gap is better? or another DK for the same price??

You realize it's light because it's a race bike... right?

5"10 and a 20" TT here, it's not THAT uncommon.

It is pretty uncommon. Stem length makes a big difference to me though. I can go down to a 20.2 inch frame comfortably with a longer stem, but the same frame with say an Elementary stem makes it a bit uncomfortable.
