Fiat Group = Ferrari

Huffy = DK

Come on JJ, top kiddie of the UKs leading BMX mag is that the best you can come up with.

No thoughts on the use of magnesium or even the look of the graphics.

 :) A few MTB cos made mag frames several years ago and they never took off.Seems to be all about the weight & not much else.DK stuff is usually pretty good quality and sensible prices.Scoop Distribution could certainly do a lot more with the brand in the UK.Doesn`t bother me who owns DK as long as they have somebody with BMX knowhow keeping an eye on things :daumenhoch:

Magnesium.....not the best withstander of bumps and the elements, I had a Wellgo MG1 pedal shatter on me in March, I cased the landing on a medium double, just manged to keep my foot on the stump that was left. I know a few other people who have had the same thing happen, mine were 3 ish years old and had been subjected learning big jumps and my unique landing style ;D

Magnesium, it would seem, is not very durable for heavy long term use
