I'm usually not a fan of aluminum hardtail frames, but I must say, that is probably one of the best looking hardtail frames out there.
Nice build too. Very similar control/cockpit components as on my Fuse IV, -good stuff.
Have fun with it!

Im loving the new look for those frames, the old ones were kinda fugly with the weird shaped tubing and all. How do they ride compared to the old ones?
frame is only ok to me, but i believe you that it rides super nice. really nice build kit too.

it has a 23.5 inch top tube and that makes me want to vomit.

The short has a 21.25" toptube. The long is ridiculously long.

i havn't ridden the old ones that much but i think i like the 06 ones a little better. They seem quicker and more responsive and manual better

yuck! they had the old design perfected, why change? Im not a fan at all of the 06 it looks very weak. The main reason why I liked the P.3 line so much was because it was so beefy, now look at it, its friggin pinner. Looks like some idiot spilt paint all over it.

Very nice, I like it more than the older ones. I owned an 04 p2 but found the long was wayyyy too big for me and didn't allow me to manual well or do anything well for that matter. I bet its stronger than the older p3s, the headtube junction is the same design as the demo 9, and you don't hear about them breaking. Very nice ride.

I think that it looks good. The old P.3 was fine, it was strong and beefy. But things have to change to keep the line looking fresh, no? It now looks lighter, and still just as strong. Bonus' in my eyes.

how are the DJ urbans?

how are the DJ urbans?
there pretty good if all ur doing is dj and urban which is obviously what there meant for. Their really stiff and meant for single hits. They have rebound adjustment and also air assist which is pretty helpful. And i don't really find them that heavy like the old zocchi dj's. I wouldn't mind changing them to a pike though. How much do u think i could get for the fork?

i dont see how those frames are much different than most aluminum hardtail dirtjumping frames... it has a different seat tube gusset like on the demos but so does the doc made by evil, and everyone seems to like that frame a lot...if you buy the small size it has shortchainstays for good responsive spinning and maneurvering, ive never ridden one of them but i dont understand why people would call it ugly or dont like it yet they would like many of the other very similar frames on the market

its not really that diff from other frames. I bought it cause it felt great, had good reviews and i was able to get a sick deal on it from my LBS.
