I am looking seriously at the Identiti Dr. Jeykll frame only because my shop does not cary the trial specific Identiti Judge frame. I have heard nothing but good things about Identiti as a company. But am just wondering if the Dr. Jeykll would be a good trials/street frame to build up.

However, with your weight and riding I dont think it would matter. If you are really doing trials and not just street and park stuff I would get something more trials oriented (like the older jackflash frames) however, given the fact you are gonna run suspension, will be hitting dirt jumps and riding street I think you will be good. _________________ NL Bikes Posted: Sat May 21, 2005 8:24 am antidis2000 All-City   Joined: Feb 23, 2005 Posts: 671 Location: ma look at woodman elite, you can get em through BTI so you can do your shop thing, a bit more trialsy than the jeckyll _________________ woosh Posted: Sat May 21, 2005 10:30 am bowhers All-City   Joined: Aug 24, 2004 Posts: 931 ah yes not bad and if you are going to run the avid disc you wont have to worry about magura hs 33s being douchey _________________ NL Bikes Re: trials/street frame advise Posted: Sat May 21, 2005 6:45 pm emanbiker09 Toy   Joined: Apr 26, 2005 Posts: 5 Ok i have narrowed it down to 2 frames...the planet x jack flash and the woodman elite... which would be best for a very light weight rider new to the trials scene?
