So I've been riding my DTT Supercross for a couple of years now ... with a short departure to a Anniversary Condor ... but now thanks to Gra Wadz a Subrosa DTT has stepped up to challange.
I love my ol'Cross but always wonder about other frames ... will the Subrosa finally mean I sell the SX for good.
There's only 2 of these in the country according to Bill Ryan from Supercross 8)
The current rider ... WAL'd up because WAL decals look so sick.

I wonder if anyone can work out who the loser was on both these frames??
Hahaha
I'll end up with at least one of these.
Keep me out the lopp the faith. Hahahaha. L

Give the Subrosa a few sessions before you pass judgement, changing loads of things at once is going to make it feel very strange when you ride it. :)

Subrosa built and ridden :welcome to the world of Subrosa :daumenhoch:
First thoughts were very 'twitchy' and a bit short ... but the length was more a mental block as it seemed to feel longer than my SX. Kept Gra's advice in mind and stuck with it with an open mind for the rest of the evening... and loved it by the end...
Definitely gonna stick with this now and find the Supercross a new home :daumenhoch: stuck a liitle 'swap' thread in to see if I can trade the Subrosa up for a 21" but I'm not really fussed either way ...
Most of all I felt myself gripping the bars more and keeping off the brake :angel:

Need to ride it again tho 'cause I was getting on fine with it :daumenhoch:

6' 2" Ed :daumenhoch:
keep hold of the SX for now though just in case you really can't get on with the Sub :daumenhoch:

to be honest Rob ... I really liked the Subrosa.
Don't know if it was the combination of new frame/forks/crank/peds that felt so good but to be honest if I went for another frame it would be a longer Subrosa ... Gra was right ... I'm converted :daumenhoch:
The old Supercross Extension is going to have to go for good :daumenhoch:
-
Fair do's mate :daumenhoch:
-
So the Supercross has a new home and the Subrosa will be my ride...
Bye Bye Supercross ... its been a great two years ... almost exactly... as you arrived mid March 2012 ... farewell :'( ( play the emotional music )

Should try it, it's like Razzle readers wives live :LolLolLolLol:

don't be too sure, 80's Purple Eddy often adopts the seagull stance, it's like the crane but rounder , has also been known on the odd occasion to don the correct quiff too , apparently the style is easier to achieve after participating in the above
