So I'm thinking of building a dirt jumper for fun, I would need to get a frame but should have enough spare parts for the rest of the build. I have these old fox air 36 r forks, I know they can be lowered as I remember making and installing a 10mm spacer in them back in the day as they had a crazy long axle to crown length for the bike I was using. If I were to lower them to 100mm travel they should have an axle to crown of about 490mm, they don't seem to have any compression adjustments just rebound and air pressure, would these be suitable for a basic dirt jump build? (the photo of them at 100mm is just with the air let out, I haven't taken them apart to install a bigger lowering spacer yet)

Hey all,

In my town we've had a bike jump on the side of a very chill neighborhood road for almost ten years. I don't know if any of the local e bike kids have been using it, but when I went to session it today it was obscured by a car parked. As you can see on the map it is not on any bodies property.

I plan on checking tomorrow, and If it's still there I want to leave a note or something.

Whats the best way to approach this problem? We really don't want to have to build another one somewhere else.

Firstly, I've seen this DJ pop up a few times in Reddit already, and I know that the original owner of this bike is also active on here and has helped me out with identifying the specs when I DMed him. The bike has been listed for more than 3 months, originally posted for 1k and brought down to 900.

I was thinking of offering somewhere between 600-750, but I thought I'd ask this all-knowing Reddit page before taking action. From my DMs with the original owner and Marketplace messages with this seller, here are the specs I was able to figure out:

Frame:
It is a Cachet origin frame, built as a prototype (?) to experiment with a really short rear chainstay, as you can see the 26" wheel is rlly close to touching the seat tube. I assume its significantly shorter than most other DJs, making it easier to manual/do other tricks?

One thing worth noting is that the frame was repainted by the original owner, in this really awesome green color, so it may be difficult to check for frame cracks from usage by the 2nd owner (current seller).

Other specs:
Rockshox Pike DJ fork, 26" wheels with Goodyear Bigfoot tires, Shimano XT cranks, decent pedals, and decent brakes idk what model.

I am not able to figure out if there's anything wrong with the bike merely from the images, so I do plan on checking it out in person and possibly getting it inspected at a bike shop prior to buying it.

I just wanted to see y'all's input on what you would offer for this bike, or if there are any possible issues or things I need to watch for. If you read this far tyvm, I look forward to your input!

Started as a joke between a few friends (especially the Bluetooth brakes) and ended up actually being a super fun experiment.

Going to swap out these janky crank and pedals asap (bombshell and Chesters?) Then put on some light pivotal seat. The stock promax absolutely do not stop for shit, but I don’t have a spare rear, anyone wanna recommend some semi-metallic pads before I go blow more money on parts I don’t need?

Thought y'all might enjoy this one. This has been my money pit this year, Slopeduro retromodded 2006 Stumpjumper FSR Expert. Inspired by missing my 2016 P.3 that got stolen, it's the FS big brother with gears. Manitou Circus Expert 130mm fork and custom Spank Spike Race 33s on Hope Pro5 hubs are the centerpiece of this build. Chromag cockpit and seating. 4 pot shimano brakes and such. Went wild with it, may upgrade to a kashima fox over the Performance series I went with, this frame is a miracle size and modern 190x45 metric is within 1mm of the og SAE Triad. Been sending it at the local pedal up park, Berm Park in Canton, NC and getting in a bit of urban freeride in on my commutes, glad to be jumping again. (And yes, I've chopped the original seat post for park days when I don't need to pedal up, and have a PNW external dropper that I use when I know I'll be climbing.)

If youve seen my other posts youd know i was thinking about selling my haro and i ended up doing it and picked up this free agent void. looks similar to the octane one something something or ns something somstjing i think theyre owned bt the same company

Picked up this 07 cannondale chase for 200, kinda would like repaint the frame, was thinking about powder coat but would like to keep the cannondale logos.Thought about paint, any recommendations would be helpful thanks.

new Alcatraz fully custom

Day trip down to HB for the air show. Figured we would hit sheep before leaving. Went a littttttle too slow 😂😂
