think ahead man your only 14
by all means if your one of those ppl that are always going to be financially secure drop several thousand on a karpiel frame. if serveral thousands a drop in the bucket 2 you go for it.
soon your gonna want to get your own transportation(so you can go biking) and then your gonna want to move out of your parents place. those both are going to require money.
your not gonna find alot of info on how they ride(theres just not that many out there)
how do you know your gonna like how it rides if you can't ride one before you purchase it.
in 3-4 years after you dump money on getting your life started and you look back on your purchase was the extra 1000 quid worth it to get the karpiel because you wanted it
go talk to your lbs they should have some sound advice.

i'm not trying to take the piss out of you.

No Apoc, but I'm selling my Armageddon. Finally uploaded some pics into my profile - have a look. It's on FleaBay until tomrrow, if it doesn't sell, it'll get re-listed. 11" of Karpiel lunacy...

Like the guy below said, look into his used Armageddon, or get yourself a New Disco. I can hook you up with a brand new Apocalypse or Disco if you're serious. I'm the US Karpiel distributor.

If you want your bike to be bigger then throw a 888 or 40 on your bike. Puts the front end up by about 2 inches. And i'm 6'1 and ride a stinky with no problems at all.

Oh well - relisted anyway! My mate sold his Apoc on EBay recently after several weeks of relisting for £2000. It was mint though, and had a fairly decent build spec (for that kind of bike) - Super Monsters, Profile cranks etc. Weighed a frickin' ton though! Rolleyes

Dude you're a 50kg Lolita, you barely need 5" of travel f/r to ride dh. I myself, weighs a bit over 100kg with gear on, and I still ride dh with my 200/170 f/r dh bike. You don't need a karpiel, you need bike handling and the perception of the value of money.

It's not like you do 20-45 feet drops, can you even drop higher than 3 feet? According to your pics I highly doubt it.

Sorry dude, but if you seriously think you need a karpiel, you are heavily mistaken.

I race Dh across the Uk on an ironhorse sunday, im taller, heavier, and harder riding than you, and i cope perfectly well, as do ALOT of people on this forum. i have a friend winning elite cats at Uk races on an old turner DHR, so get over yourselof, you cant afford it, you cant ride it, so dont even bother.
