Halfway affordable STEEL Dh frames

[Rockinthecasbah]

I have always been a fan of the Cro-Mo Single pivot Dh frames
Theres the SWD's but they are pretty hard to come by now

I found this on another forum
Majin


Anyone know any other similar frames, any feedback on the SWD
they were sweet at fontucky this year

[freekengo]

I know it's not the single pivot that you're looking for, but I think Canfield makes a 4130 frame based off of their F1 frame. It may be worth a look.

[Rockinthecasbah]

thats one of the ones i couldnt think of thanks
im not goign to be able to afford a canfield for awhile lol

[Rockinthecasbah]

Majin is based in Chile. Look up Vitox on RM and he shoudl be able to help you find them.

[Rockinthecasbah]

screw halfway affordable, get what ya want once and be done with it. After watching the stock market the last few days I look at my Brooklyn as a fun investment. lol

Bro, I like single pivot bikes more then most but man. After riding a DW deal that bike is like going back to caveman.

[Rockinthecasbah]

lol they dont make the bike i want right now, I would love an 8 gun but since Steve Died I thnk SWD is pretty much done
Ive ridden that eastern around a little bit pretty much junk i mean im sure someone likes it but I think its crap


Yeah I know but IH screwed us over pretty good I dont ride my 7 point up hill anywas and it still has enough pedal bob that I dont know how much of the DW stuff I believe at least on big bikes

I've had my brooklyn racelink since 2002. love the bike. but haven't touched in 8months since moving out here. it was good for the diablo and plattekill. but out here the geo doesn't really work.
on that note, i have ridden a SWD, not bad with the geometry. but holy brake jack batman. i've been spoiled.

but for a affordable steel frame, keep looking. most of the ones that are left, that are affordable. are bike heavy tanks.
