DJ frame? Marin
Hey can anyone recommend a good entry-level dj frame. I've looked at a couple and the Rocky Ridge looks ok. I want an frame that will be able to handle a newbie. Thanks. Oh yeah the RR is about $450.00 Canadian.

I would spend 150$ more and get the .243...much better frame and built STRONG.

Do as MAelstrom says....i would write off marin for hardcore frames. For DJ i would trust more a steel frame like a On-One, 243, or a good allu one like P series or Letoy.

Awesome bikes. Strong. Light and lots of fun. The geometry is still good enough to actually ride them. My gf owns a stuff, I own a roast and my cousing now owns a 2004 roast. I am a little biased
