I created this bike this way because I've always wanted a bike with both dirt jumping and street capabilites and that is high quality. The geometry and specs for this bike make it a reasonable dirt/street ripper. The manitou sherman jumper front fork has tons of stiffness and wont bottom out on you after a few 6 foot drops or landing 5 foot jump to flat. And the frame is specially crafted to be a lot stronger than other traditional dirt jump/street frams made with 4130 chromoly. Also, the chainstay yokes are a lot stronger than most other frames. Why i chose the other components is because, they are all strong components and good quality. I feel that they were the perfect addition to the bike, because they are all good for my riding style.
