it is a Dual (4X) frame.
Not really a jump frame but it would do for a while. just dont stack it."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

don't stack you say, maybe i should find something stronger as i'm starting to go a bit bigger and keeep coming closer and closer to falling badly lol looking at this as well http://www.24sevenbikes.com/substanceframe.html
on another note how do you reckon my crosser frame will stand up to the abuse its currently recieving?0 -
i always thought that your bike was an xc type frame, just from the look of it, i would highly reccommend going for the right type of frame, not necessarily the cheapest. if you want a jump frame, get an actual jump one.0
-
i'm not sure what the crosser frame is its got too much reinforcing to be a xc frame
what do you think to the merlin frame?
would the on one 456 be suitable for jumping?0 -

i'd agree with nick on that one, you should look at more jump specific frame if thats what you're going to do on it0

do you know anything about da bomb frames as they seem cheap and look quite cool but are they any good?0
-
is there anyway to run saints on a bmx BB for this frame http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Mode ... elID=208640

so you think da bomb frames would be up to the job?
what about a charge blender they seem quite cheap and in my opinion look fantastic0 -
cheers tis very much a minefield i'm really just after a cheap bombproof frame0
-
arent we all!! i do think that if i was in the market for a frame, i would be very tempted by one of the da bomb numbers, ask in the jumping section if anyone has a dabomb frame and if they rate it.0

good idea
do these like mtb BB's to you?

they do but that first frame looks ugly as sin, the gusset on the headtube looks 'orrible
best place to check is the dabomb website0 -
lol i think they are website is not completely clear.
life can be so complicated lol0 -
there is a pic on the gallery of the grenade puttogether with a set of hussefelt cranks so i would say they are mtb style bb0
-
i do think that grenade looks rather good once built up
is there anyway to run saint cranks on a bmx BB?0 -
Sputnik in white looks great built up - I did a custom build in the shop a while ago. Our shop has a huge number of Da Bomb frames at the warehouse. Here's the website for mail order - give them a call and ask about the Da Bomb frames for prices and details.
