Used Product For 6 Months Strengths Strong, Inexpensive, Horiz. Dropout available Weaknesses Not Trials Specific, Low BB Similar Products Used Jack Flash Review I got mine about 2 years ago and rode it street/trail for about 3-4 mos. and disliked the horiz. dropout because the rear hub would torque itself crooked in the slots, difficult to set up properly for trials like that. So I went to another frame for a while- broke it, then recently went back to the DS-1. I spent about a week reconfiguring the dropouts- now it's horizontal, but the axle sits all the way at the front of the dropout- no torque troubles, also got to shorten the chainstays about 3/4" and lighten the bike ~1/2LB. Takes a lot of mechanical skills, but now its a better trials bike, the BB is still low at 10", and the stays are long at 16.25", but it's strong even after chopping it up, so I gotta give it good marks for what it does and what it can be if tweaked. Good all around frame for the money.

Used Product For 1 Month Strengths Strong frame/good price/ I have vertical dropouts on mine Weaknesses Cheap decals, but who cares? Similar Products Used Trek 4500/ fuel 90/ several BMX bikes Review So far I am very pleased with the frame. It weighs in at about 4.5 lbs and seems to be very durable. I am running a 2.6 on the rear with plenty of room to spare. Like I mentioned up above I have vertical dropouts (most I have read about have horizontal ones) I want to get more into Urban/trials and I figure this is a decent place to start.
