    I just bought a 2004 saracen xile 7005 with stx gears, ALEX black rims, triple clamps and disk brakes for 165, 6 months old like.

    Does the job, looks top aswell.

    Car looks oh so tempting in the mornings.

    yeh, but there isnt any where i can really park, it would be quicker to cycle any way due to the maze of one way systems and rush hour traffic!


    so any one know any thing about the dmr sidekick?

    Sidekick is a nice little frame. Looks an ok build too, will get you by, but ultimately the judy forks will need replacing if you want to jump.

    Mine died from XCing, when they bottom out they stick, i used them on my jump bike until i got fed up of fininshing a rhythm set with no suspension! :lol:

    Steer clear form the DDG. I would defo go for that DMR, it looks a very good buy and DMRs customer care is top notch :thumbup:

    The dmr also looks to have a better set up. Cheap discs are a no no, the ddg frame is ali, and the dmr has stronger cranks...
