Jan 19, 2016DMR BOLT LONG **NEW** **PRICEDROP**
$600 GBPFor sale is a brand new bolt long frame in tango orange.
Comes with all of the parts in the original box (although this is slightly damaged).
I ride another one of these bikes myself and can safely say it is an awesome bike - mine is built to weigh about 32 pounds and tackles everything from long days pedalling in the peaks to uplift days in wales - so pretty versatile!
DMR have also now brought out dropouts so you can run either 26 or 27.5 wheels which means the frame is pretty future proof, and you could potentially run with your old 26inch wheels before converting the frame at a later date. Comes with the 26inch dropouts though.
(dropouts available here) http://shop.upgradebikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Frames/DMR/DMR-Bolt-Frame-Long-2014-2
Price includes postage to UK mainland, and on the basis this is a pretty damn good deal (cheapest online for a new bolt frame).
Here's the official spiel and spec from DMR:
FULLY SUSSED//GEARED//SINGLESPEED//125MM TRAVEL
The Bolt Long has a longer front end and an extended seat-tube for use with a dropper post. This makes it more suited to all-mountain/ enduro style riding but it features the same durability and strength found in the standard Bolt.
• Single BB pivot to allow single speed set ups.
• 125mm travel
• XFUSION Air shock with lock –out O2 RL.
• Heat Treated,
• 4130 Cro.Mo Steel

MBUK
Verdict: The Bolt Long is a finely-crafted, heart-warming, non-conformist, good-for-the-soul ragger.
DMR’s Bolt began life as a slopestyle-come-freeride full susser but now, thanks to a longer front end and taller seat tube option, it’s turning its aspirations to a more all-mountain/ enduro lifestyle.
Full-suspension frames crafted from steel are relatively rare things but that’s not to say that the Bolt lacks detail…the bike can easily be run as a singlespeed.
You also get DMR’s clever Swopout dropouts to accommodate a variety of axle standards...
The 68-degree head angle keeps things snappy in the turns and the 1,147mm wheelbase adds to stability.
DMR’s own-branded parts ruled the roost on our custom Bolt and rightfully so – their hard-hitting, high quality attributes mirror the frame’s intended use perfectly.
…the 35mm diameter Wingbars, which stiffened up the front end without feeling like a scaffolding pole.
The Ride:
…feels taught under power and accelerates well – it’s snappy yet stable, responsive yet planted.
The long and low angles of the Bolt can easily deceive you that you’re on a lot bigger bike when descending.
The best thing about the Bolt is its refusal to ‘conform’.
The Bolt flies and is all about fun. It’s a ‘woods’ bike built for going fast down hills, hitting jumps and railing corners.
In many ways, it’s all the downhill bike most of us will probably ever need and with the correct set-up, it will pedal back up again happily.
It’s a fantastic value play bike, especially with a £899 version (with X-Fusion O2 RL shock) available.
Any questions, let me know!
Cheers

$220 GBPFor sale are a pair of 2013 Marzocchi 55R's
Bought new 12 months ago.
160mm travel.
Forks are in excellent working condition, with the few cable rubs etc that you would expect - ride really well. Stanchions are perfect.
Been well looked after and not long had a service by windwave (probably about 5 rides ago).
Steerer tube has been left long (about 190mm) so should fit most frames no problem.
Steerer is 1.1/8"
Included in the sale is a hope crown reducer so the fork can be used with frames with either standard 1.1/8 head tube, or tapered.
