Hi there. I'm looking to buy or build a new bike but I'm not sure what type of bike I.need . I like to do some street /freeride so low seat and the right angles are needed but I also wanna use it for some trail and and some small drops . Am I just dreaming or is there some compromise were I could get something which is capable of both . Thanks guys

    I would say two bikes. one with no suspension and one with front and rear suspension.

    what do you call FR?

    But I guess a sort travel Fully may do or a short travel HT.

    what are you thinking?

    On-One Summer Season. Works great for freeride & trails. I don't do street so not sure about that Only £170 for a frame.
