Post by: pickle on July 31, 2007, 04:07 PM: This is true.....but don't forget some peeps don't have the extra £50 sovs to add to it.....also the 4 pack is the top end DK and full cro mo and it's a good all round bike! if you take off the heavy pegs it's not too heavy either.

Post by: Stodgy on July 31, 2007, 04:10 PM: The new WeThePeople 2008 range is out soon - choose something from there in your price range and I suspect you'll be happy!

Or perhaps the new SubRosa completes - cool as fook.

Or 2Hip are doing some sweet new 08 bikes.

Yep I sometimes take mine ;)

I have seen few members bang their steetbeats and fst's on ramps, nothing we can do would hurt em :LolLolLolLol:, but If you are planning 14ft vertramp air's and double tailwhip 360's over a box you may want to use a newschool :D
