During my week off between jobs, I picked up a 4 year old DMR Trailstar frame I purchased from Trade me. I took the frame round to my friend Darin's house and we (well mainly he) built the bike for me.
The main difference between this and my old frame, a Kona Cindercone, is the DMR is cold steel and it has horizontal drop outs. This meant I could drop the chain tensioner which makes the bike run a whole load smoother and quieter.
I have ridden the bike a couple of times, and it is so sweet, it is definately less harsh on the rough trails, handles well and is so so quiet...
Single speeding is the bomb
