I am 5 foot 10 inches tall. But I have some seriously long arms... Long arms make the bike feel cramped to me. But it works well. I recently set it up with an X9 rear D. This sombitch likes to climb! I am amazed on how easy it is, and I hate climbing!
I really like the set-up as is. Single speed and rear brake only takes some getting used to, but it is a blast to ride. I just put the U-turn Air on there, which is a huge improvement over the dual air that was on there before. I would also like to get a RP23 to replace the BAR that is on there.
I use this bike mainly for DJ and light trail riding.
I really need to get new pics of this bike up. It does not even look the same anymore. It has a set of revolution 32s, X9 rear D, Temple lite stem, DMR Moto Digger tires.. Yup... time for a new pic!
Thanks man. I had built it up for DJ's, but in the end I did not like how it worked in that application. However, I am jaded because there are two Doubles in my garage, which are not mine tho. I will say the Parker is NOT a Double replacement. lol.. So I re-built this bike into more of a trail bike, and it is amazing!
I picked up the frame new from Jenson and put parts I had laying around on it. So I can not give a solid price for the build.
