Versatile jump/trails/4X bike?

Posts: 157
I want to get a bike that can cope with dirt jumping, but also do a little street riding to practice skills and fine to take to the local trails. Maybe even have a go at a 4X track if I get adventurous.
I'm thinking 26" wheels and running gears at the back and a bashguard for versatility.
Any suggestions?
I'm thinking a giant STP 0 at the moment, as it's cheap fully built up (with ok parts) and Chris Smith seems to be doing fine with his
Frame only or complete bike, and no real budget, but I don't want to go overboard...

Hi,
Yep, Ive got a Flow Drift frame for sale.
http://www.flowbikes.co.uk/frames.html
(Not sure if its that exact colour)
Its brand new.
Basically, Ive won it in a competition from PumpUrbanWear, so I can get it in 26 or 26" wheels, and for geared or singlespeed.
They go for œ250 in shops, Im looking for around œ210
Yeah, as Fozzy says, its a really good frame, won the MBUK dirtjumper test against a DMR, Identiti, and 24seven.
If you're interestted, let me know [:D]
Ta, Duane [:)]

I remember the test, and I remember being impressed. I've got a fetish for anything british and made of steel. The only thing i'd be a little wary of is the chain-tug/gear hanger business. Perhaps i'd better steer clear of alu frames.
I'll give it some thought, cheers.0 -
Let me know [:)]
While not very well known (Flow are a very small company), those who do have them, love them [:D]

Not to distract you from Minimole's awesome frame, you could consider a Charge Blender or Iron. Good deals on those frames.
