If you want a frame that will last, go with the Banshee Morphine, you just gotta find the right fork. Its a great freestyle and downhill bike, the extra guzzets on it make the frame super tough. And since its a hard tail, DJing will be a breeze, and the crosscountry part wont be too bad.

the morphine is at the top of my list right now.The chameleon seems like more of a xc frame than a freeriding frame.Is it not?

Id have to earn$440 for the scream,$160 for the dirtbag,and $65 for the morphine.But i could get the transition with a Jr T fork and a Romic Shock with earning just another $283 or with a Manitou Sherman Slider Plus for another earnined $316.Id also have to buy a new fork for the scream or morphine because a 80mm xc fork just wont cut it.So id have to add another $100 or so to what i already have to earn.Then i would have to transfer all my other parts form my current bike to the new frame(which i have never done)and then upgrade the rest slowly.Thanks the lord i only have to pay for 1/3 of the bike!And is a bike that hard to build,or could i do it since im good at putting things together?Is the Jr T or Slider a better freeride fork?

cant go wrong with either of those forks but ive heard good things about the slider

skiing should be like mcdonalds...sure they started out with just hamburgers, them they progressed to breakfest sandwiches and salads and mcflurries. we all love the new stuff, but we still love the old stuff as well. so its a good thing they still offer

Azonic steelhead or transition trail-or-park


frozen spermy pops isnt really food. more like an appetizer before atlantaski's mom takes a huge dump on his dads face then he comes in and sticks in the dick in the shit while his mom sucks him off. now that would be the most hardcore ass to mouth in

Stealheads are great but not for downhill... Geo does not match up well for DH. Your choices are good but take this to a mountain bike website. www.ridemonkey.com whatever you do dont go to pinkbike

I got a 2003 chameleon and it kills it. It can honestly do it all. During the week I use it for street, dj and trail riding and on the weekend I do downhill. My only real complaint is that the 2003 model dosn't have disk tabs, you have to buy this wierd under the chainstay adapter, but this isnt a problem with the newer models. Other than that it's awsome. People say it doesnt have the greatest tire clearence, but I fit a 2.5" maxxis mobster on a d521 with around 1cm on either side. It's also super stable with the 16.5" chainstay, a bit long for street but just right for trail riding.
