I bought one of these frames a few years back of eBay, cost me £38 including postage. Im finally getting around to building her up, got the box down from the loft/attic yesterday, its a beautifully crafted frame, I didn't realize how nice it was. I'm building her up as a fixed gear, just for that added element of danger/fun.👍🚴😊
Wow! That's a pretty awesome deal. They are quality frames. Mine is well loved and still going strong. I can't imagine riding it as a fixie! 😮 Love the unique approach!
@@AdrenalineIsLife Thank you for your reply. I didn't realize how good a deal it was, I checked the frame out last night, no dents or cracks, its structurally sound, just a bit tatty cosmetically, nothing the touch up pen won't fix. I used to ride fixed many moons ago and miss the thrill of it, can't wait for the maiden voyage. It will take a few more late nights to complete the build then just waiting for the bad weather to clear.👍🚴😊
1:56 COP: is this bike stolen? Rider: yes. Cop then I have to arrest you. Rider,: why? Cop: you just admitted to riding a stolen bicycle. Rider: no the brand name is Stolen. 😄
Just found your channel and love the content. I ride an old ass Kona coiler with modern cockpit. I'm hard to keep up with at the park. Old doesn't mean outdated. Keep making great vids
Good deal bro! This type of bike appears to be sold used a lot and not thrashed as much. Also they are the simplest and strongest type of Mtb. So I would totally recommend buying 2nd hand dirt jumpers! In New Zealand they go for about $500 NZ for a good quality 5 year old dirt jumper that would have sold for $1000-$1800 new
You got a heck of a build for under 400. I sold a 24 fit bike co bmx for $450 to fund a budget dirt jumper/pump track bike. Im almost done and still trying to keep a super tight budget by using a few parts I had laying around my shop and hand building my wheels myself but even being a former shop owner/mechanic its still gonna cost me nearly $700 with the only 4 thing that are brand new being the octane one zircus frame at $250, da bomb tactic bars at $60, GT singlespeed 13t disc cassette at $49. The rest was bought second hand or used of a bike that belonged to my dad before he passed away two years ago. I paid more for my used forks then you did for your whole bike initially so yes you got a great deal on a slightly older high end dirt jump street park frame from a brand that was one of if not the top brands in the industry for a time. ive only heard good things about the brand I've only heard good things about the brand so I hope your enjoying the ride
I lucked out big time. The bike shortage is making everything more expensive. I'm loving the bike. It's a ton of fun! Your build sounds pretty good. I'm surprised you were able to find a Zircus frame in stock.
@@AdrenalineIsLife I count myself lucky, I literally got one of the last 2 2020 red ones that chainreaction cycles in the uk had in stock. It was pretty much that way with everything and its also why I'm not done with it just yet(I received the frame start of april). I'm having trouble finding the very last part, a 15x100mm ta front hub every one i find sells before I can get it...
i thought you can only get deals like that here in Mexico. lol great looking bike. grab a shovel and start building a jump. you won't believe how much fun it is.
@@AdrenalineIsLife but i am still struggling how to achieve the weight to at-least less than 13kg. after few upgrades from 16kg down to 13.8kg... what's more?
What are the tires on that? I had those on a bike I bought and resold really quickly a while ago, I didn’t get the name but remembered they seemed pretty grippy
They're Kenda Kniptions. They're good but we so old they were starting to dry rot. I just replaced with a pair of Michelin Pilot Pumps for the pump track and Small Block 8s for dirt
I would say thats a betty good deal for an example my canyon stitchet dirt Jumper cost me 850€ i don't know how much that is in dollars but my parts are a bit better with all race face components but in the end thats a damn good deal
I get a lot people asking me where to find a cheap dirt jumper. Polygon has a decent dirt jumper on sale for pretty cheap. Lifetime frame warranty and upgradeable. Check it out at the link below. tidd.ly/3loiWq2 (Full disclosure any purchases will help out this channel.)
Some DJ bikes are offered in different sizes. I'm not a big guy and this bike feels noticeably smaller than my other MTBs. Trick bikes by their nature lend themselves to being on the smaller side. Even some Redbull Rampage riders still use 26 in DH bikes for that very reason.
The best place to find deals are your local MTB/BMX B/S/T Facebook groups as well as Craigslist. Pinkbike.com can be useful as well. The downside right now is that people are buying bikes like crazy because of the Covid-19 lockdowns so it's become a seller's market.
@@AdrenalineIsLife its hard to build without a budget :( ..im trying to find someone to fund me .. if i get this one this is my first bmx/dj bike im my life
LOL Its a Manitou Fork. They have a reverse arch design. It's supposed to give more tire clearance and improve stiffness. They are good forks and fairly priced.
That sucks. I've heard that it can be tough finding good bikes for a good price in Australia. We're lucky here. Its a big market so are a lot of bikes.
@@AdrenalineIsLife No worries. Its still a good deal. I upgraded a $150 walmart dirt jumper. I changed everything, and you still had a way better deal on yours. Your bike is also way better than mine.
@@AdrenalineIsLife yeah I got one years ago. Its super heavy. Stock it was like 27lbs with a rigid fork. It'll probably be heavier with my upgrades. I got new wheels, cranks, sprocket, headset, handlebars and stem. I have to still grind the dropouts because the stolen rampage wheels I got are 14mm in the rear. The wheels pretty good for $170 all sealed bearings and nice rims. They're bmx style so they should be pretty strong.
New Video Out! 3 Dirt Jumpers for a good price. Not quite $150 but good values for the money. 😀
ruclips.net/video/R6_a-bA6DNs/видео.html
You got an insane deal from the looks of it, maybe could've saved some money on the wheel, but hope hubs are sick and matching rims are worth it.
Thanks! I'm pretty stoked on it. It's such a fun bike. 😁
Pretty sweet deal, even after all the updates. Try that thing out at the Frankfort pump track.
😮😮 I totally forgot about the Frankfort pump track!
I drive by there last Saturday and it’s still out there for the winter. It was covered in snow but maybe it’s all melted off by now.
@@TheMediocreMountainBiker I imagine it should be clear by Sunday. Weather will be warm
I think I could've spent a little less on this refresh but overall I think we have a solid ride to hit the parks with. What do you think?
Hope kit is always worth a few extra bucks!
@@IanPhillipsWildlife Yeah a little pricey but good stuff.
Adrenaline Is Life what site did u go to to look for the bike?
@@thesnozay4962 I found it on a Facebook group. Right place at the right time.
@@thesnozay4962 if your still looking try pinkbike.com they have some decent deals on jumpers at times.
Nicely done

@@michaelfowell223 Enjoy the build and let all hope for good weather. 🙂 We're covered in wet snow at the moment.
@@AdrenalineIsLife Its the same here in the UK at the moment, covered in snow and very cold and icy, to treacherous to ride, roll on summer.☀🚴😊
That's an awesome deal
Definitely! A little patience and good luck.

When the seller told me it had Stolen cranks. I paused for a moment. Best company name ever! 😂
You definitely deserve way more subs
Thanks! 😁

I think I was petty lucky with this one. We're going to get this bike out again very soon. Can't wait!😁
i still got the 2010 model of that frame, works best and tough til now
It's very well built. Steel is real!
@@AdrenalineIsLife but i am still struggling how to achieve the weight to at-least less than 13kg. after few upgrades from 16kg down to 13.8kg... what's more?

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it. 😁 Super stoked about the bike.
i just use a 80s bike i found in the trash and me and the boys send it on the trails
Very cool. You can get creative with just about any bike.
Good deal
I would say thats a betty good deal for an example my canyon stitchet dirt Jumper cost me 850€ i don't know how much that is in dollars but my parts are a bit better with all race face components but in the end thats a damn good deal
I can't complain. It rides well and has many more years left in it.
You got an absolute steal, you`d be paying 5 to 600 euros for that where i live.
I couldn't have asked for a better deal. It's really hard to find deals like this today.
@@AdrenalineIsLife yeah deals like this are hard to find, although i did recently find a 2009 NS Suburban for really cheap, i think I'll buy it.
@@azerator1819 You can't go wrong with an NS.
@@AdrenalineIsLife well, i have snapped a 2012 Suburban at the headtube before, let's just hope this one will hold up better.

i just bought a comp fork new for $380 id say you made out
Like a bandit. I remember saying to myself at the time. "The fork is worth more than that!" Still enjoying the bike thoroughly!
nice..when im listening at you in my mind you sound like a guy on tv i just dont know who..
Haha. When you remember who, let me know. I'm curious.
Nice bike brah! You're quite handsome as well! Smarts and looks!
Thanks brah! I have a good plastic surgeon. 😂
Which one was used for the crankset?
Stolen Team cranks.
Does size matter? It seems dirt jumpers mainly come in one size. If I bought one, would it fit normally small and medium frame riders?
Some DJ bikes are offered in different sizes. I'm not a big guy and this bike feels noticeably smaller than my other MTBs. Trick bikes by their nature lend themselves to being on the smaller side. Even some Redbull Rampage riders still use 26 in DH bikes for that very reason.
Would like to know if ball park age you are at and what camera do you have?
I just turned 52. For this video I used my cellphone and a gopro Hero 7 Black. I'm using better equipment these days.
@@AdrenalineIsLife thank you for your help
BROOO. This bike has similar spec to my $1k one💀😭
Don't feel bad. The bike has a lot of wear and tear on it. It's due for some replacement parts. Awesome bike though. Jumps so good.
wich side did you buy on
.
Purchased locally.
Where can I find used MTB/ dirt jumper bikes for sale, just wondering if there are good sites you would recommend!
The best place to find deals are your local MTB/BMX B/S/T Facebook groups as well as Craigslist. Pinkbike.com can be useful as well. The downside right now is that people are buying bikes like crazy because of the Covid-19 lockdowns so it's become a seller's market.
Sub just because of Austin Powers
Smashing Baby! Yeah!✌
Any good used bike for 300
I think prices will come down soon. Keep your eye on Craigslist and BST groups.
Its a sweet deal, but i would have spent a bit more to get one with a tapered head tube for possible upgrades
Tapered head tube would've been nice. 👍 I think the next upgrades for this bike will be more cockpit related. After that perhaps a new build.
on what website can you buy these
Unfortunately, they're not made anymore 😕
@@AdrenalineIsLife oh ok thx
hello bro .. can you help me to build my first DJ ? i have 100$ now but in our country the Norco250 is 250$ that my target build
$100 budget is tough to get anything built that is good quality. Your best bet is to search for used parts and take your time.
@@AdrenalineIsLife its hard to build without a budget :( ..im trying to find someone to fund me .. if i get this one this is my first bmx/dj bike im my life
for me it's a good deal but I am a newbie hehehehehe
Lol. It's probably a good deal for most people these days.
Hey whats the name of site?
The site with the classifieds is pinkbike.com
As i was a good deal 🤘🇨🇦
🤘 Super fun bike for the money. 😁
Why do the forks look backwards, its wrinkling my brain
LOL Its a Manitou Fork. They have a reverse arch design. It's supposed to give more tire clearance and improve stiffness. They are good forks and fairly priced.
In Australia you would get a bike ten times worse and it would be double the price.
That sucks. I've heard that it can be tough finding good bikes for a good price in Australia. We're lucky here. Its a big market so are a lot of bikes.
@@AdrenalineIsLife lol , never happen in mine country, bicycle is like selling gold ,that what most owners think
@@sdqsdq6274 Same here in the USA. I was lucky to buy this before the pandemic.
Can you build me a bike for £200 and under, mine got stolen and a really want a new one
Sorry to hear about your bike. Finding a cheap replacement will not be easy with the current shortage of bikes. It's a sellers market right now.
Adrenaline Is Life I’m aware, I only got to take my bike to the jumps once 😕
@@rg.robert1625 ☹
The spoke thing is wrong you can easily spend up to 300$ on spokes
The sky is the limit on the limit with bike parts. Lol. $75 felt like plenty for this refresh.
Luckiest man alive right there
Definitely got lucky!
Builds a bike on a "budget"...Spends $75 on spokes. Still a good deal on that bike though.
Yeah I should've shopped it beforehand. I had a lot of breathing room considering what I paid for the bike.
