Anyone who rides mtb will probably appreciate this, or consider it kinda gay...people who bmx may bash on it, but all good since if I rode up to you with my bmx you'd never know I rode this too. Anyways, I gave the DNA the face lift she deserved along with some new wheels to roll on, have been planning to do this for a while and finally got all the parts in. Hope you guys like her, as much as I do.

I live in west hartford. We used to have a nice little spot in the woods thats was pretty nice and we worked on alot but it got shut down by the police. I go over to a different town now becasue my friends built some gnarly jumps over there. I cant tell the exact location becasue they arent mine and i think the kids are trying to keep them on the down low. But some are in this video, but there is alot more u cant see in it.

If you want a new frame look at getting a

Tonic Fab Howie   4.8lbs
Chromag Monk     6.0lbs

The Chromag might weigh a bit more but its something to think about. Both are handmade (Tonic in the US, Chromag in Canada) and are made out of chro-moly. Aluminum hard tail frames can be nice and light, but they don't have the supple feel of steel. All those bikes you listed are sweet, but IMO these two are the best out. I have a Monk and absolutely love it, and the only frame I would ride instead is the Tonic.

I hope that was a joke...the jedi is a full suspension bike, I'm looking for a dirt/park frame
also if I put all the walmart "special" parts on a jedi I could make it not the lightest bike ever

haven't dialed in the right psi yet, since the chamber is larger then the 409 I ran, also the high/low speed compression I need to understand
