Title: S&M Dirt bike has been brought back as a stock frame
Post by: Glen on February 18, 2012, 03:04 PM: It wasnt listed on their products page for some time, but its back! I think they must have realised that those little flimsy frames they currently offer dont suite every one.

I folded my LTF down tube which was thicker than the ATF :idiot2:
Too weak for me

Glen the ATF's tubing is thicker walled than an LTF, hence it's a heavier frame

The LTF's major flaw was how thin walled the tubing was, they're about as dent resistant as tin foil... ;D

I didn't like the long rear end only rode mine 2 or 3 times, think you might have it now, it's green

Yep I own it now :daumenhoch: I ground the dropout slots to get the backend at about 13.8" & got some "Dookie" Dirtbike decals from Del on it :coolsmiley:
