Hey just got bored but who thinks trek should open up the Bruisers again? Also Keep the Jack going and have two seperate lines of DJ hardtail?

Yeah, i totally agree with Thud. The Bruiser was too much like an xc bike. The Jack is so much better for dirt jumping.

i have to agree with the first guy, i think they should bring it back but market it as more of a freeride hardtail and have the jack as a dirt jumper

yeah thts kinda wat i was thinkin. plus if you have ever owned a bruiser they feel like xc for a bit but then you ad parts some bonus stuff it feels more and more like dj.

The blue looks good in person. Online it looks like crap. You have to see it in person to really appreciate the color.

to each there own i guess, i have been freeriding since around 2000, was riding HT's with dc forks and dual 24's back then and i have ridden a lot of frames and none of them feel as good or are built as nice as the B1. if ya look back at some of my bike you will see that at the times i built them they were pretty killer.
i have broken my share of frames as well. i have seen trends come and go and it is all the same shit. burly allum frames vs steel frame. this was going on long before dob or the likes came around. they just coppied the desings from other compnaies before them.
i would ride a trek before a kona or a dorco anyday.
