It's all part of me trying to decide what to do in the near future. I like the Brodie Nemesis too. But I have to find a nice small frame for Elaine first, then I'll be looking for a 4X/Urban ride after wards so it's between those three... I guess... :dizzy:

They both grew on me, the phd doesn't look bad in that picture.
So you aren't the only one who likes ugly frames.

Yeah I think it's quite nice except for the seatstays. The actual low standover height frame is pretty nice

I think to ride a PHD, you'd have to have skills already. Then you can pretty much make that bike look good by the way you ride it.

I hope your making a joke about the MBA article, or else I'm going to have to hunt you down and slap you.

I was considering getting a jackal extremly well priced in england and it looks very fluid without looking to organic which i really like.

theyre just different, and people dont like change, the phd is made for specific reasons, not to please the eye of everyone to look at it. the reasons it looks the way it looks makes sense coming from a design/ride perspective, and thats what the bike is for, not showroom

^^^ Werd man.
Big Chief, how do you like your Jackal? How does it ride etc... Could it be used for laps on a 4X/BMX track?
Thanks;)

those bikes are like total oposites if you think about it. One has a toptube meant for turndowns while the other has a high toptube making it nearly imposible

True, but I am looking for something unique. I'd be using it for urban, DJ, and going out to Abby Indoor to run laps, and have fun. I am also trying to figure out if the Nemesis, or '06 Norco 4X could be attainable, but I figure that a HT will be cheaper.
