I'd say Majesty is my favorite, since it is pretty much just a lighter version of the Suburban frame that I ride and like . Idk about the Amp 'couse i've never ridden one, but for me the problem is that I really don't thrust alu frames anymore after breaking 2/2 I'v owned. The Amp looks good tho
Yeah I would get the maj but I have the traffic and I think it's not stable enough in the air.
I see what you are pointing, but it of course depends a lot on the components too. For me the Sub seems to be the perfect frame, since it's not too expensive and is good for everything beetween dirt and street. One thing is kinda funny tho, my friend has a similar Suburban frame built with quite similar RS forks and we both have 26" wheels, but still the two bikes feel completely different. For exampe, I can bunny 3 my own bike clean, but with my mates bike already a 180 feels a bit hard. On the other hand, on dj the mates bike is more stable. Quite funny isn't it : :
what are the specs on both(not exact, but a general idea)?
Well, the weird thing is that there aren't any big differences. The biggest ones I can name are that my friend's bike is a bit heavier (maybe a pound or 2) and it has lower bars with different "geometry". Everything else that is related to how the bike feels like, is similar (same stems, alu cranks etc.). It's suprising how little details can effect so much
Ive got some charge cranks and the spider thingy that holds the chainring to the cranks has come loose... is there any way of fixing this?
