if i were in your position thoe, id probablly end up going with the dob. nicer geo IMO and a large color selection. plus, you can get gyro tabs and v brake mounts welded on, if thats what you choose.
Majesty comes with removable V mounts in 2009, FYI.
Majesty is lighter, cleaner (removable cable guides, shorter drops, integrated clamp and HT, smaller seattube size), won't rust, and in my opinion has nicer geo. Back end is shorter than the Dobs if you run 26" wheels. The BB is neutral height and the HT is steeper, so it's just as flickable but a lot more stable. Warranty is roughly equivalent, however I've heard my fair share of Dob customer service horror stories.
Geo is pretty similar from the Maj to the Sub. Just the Maj has a longer TT and steeper head angle, the rest of the differences boil down to millimetres I think.
That's not half bad. I'd like a longer tt. But its not worth the extra money. f*ck, I recommend a traffic.. my buddy has one and its sick. under 400$ or something. It also has the same geo as a sub
Well I'm assuming he has the cream. Majesty is crazy dialed in ways other than geo, although a Traffic + some sick parts for it with the leftover cash would be sick too.
For sure. Traffic + a couple sick parts from the left over cash would be ideal. You won't go wrong with a sub or dob, I know they are legit. They aren't popular without reason. Can't say much about the Majesty, not too many kickin around.
I'd say chainstay length and head angle are more important than BB height. Also I think the Majesty is designed around an 80mm fork. I run 80, it feels dialed.
