Search observedtrials.net there is a lot more info on the PX bikes there. I have a Ghost and no troubles with it, but I don't tend to break things.

been looking around and everyone seems to love them, hav'nt seen anyone with a bad thing to say yet. Pirate try posting on some trials forums, see what they have to say, but i personally couldnt find anyone with a bad word. good luck mate

I've seen some PX frames crack. I think it depends on the year though. Most people who have owned them, like them.

Thanks a lot guys, its an 04, and its rastafarian:P This is my first trials frame, but i heard its also good for street and dirt jumping. Is that true?

It doesn't slice, it doesn't dice and it certainly won't rotouserice. It's no Veg-O-Matic Cry
It'll be fine for all the things you mentioned until you want a more specialized machine.

Well of coarse, i just need an all around bike. I do mostly street, but i wanted to get into trials, knowing my town doesn't have much potential. So im sure i'll enjoy the frame, it'll be better than my jack 1 frametup
