My story--I was a planet minis regular until I built my bike and found out its limits, it was a built 50 with ALL the bells and whistles except a built motor, but a built motor would not have helped me. I am 6 foot, 200 pounds and I ride hard and fast and like to jump big. I come from a big bike background. The I shock with rez, and 70 forks just didnt cut it for me coming down from 10ft+ air. I want to build some kind of hybrid 4 stroke mini, with a lot of power, and a nice suspension that can handle big whoops and jumps for a guy my size. I have the ability to fabricate so I can mix and match to my hearts desire. Basically what I am asking is what fork/frame/motor combo would you guys reccomend. I will probably fabricate a swing arm and run a CR80 shock??

Id say go to an XR80, its the smallest bike that comes with big bike stuff. It has a real singer, a clutch and is a 5 speed. It is soft but I no someone makes springs and stuff for it, BBR makes stuff for it too.
Or you can have BBR build you a CRF150/250 for 15000 like in the new MXA. That thing is awesome. It is a CRF150 with CR 80 suspenders, and a CRF250 engine, not the 150 or the 230. its big and small, depending where you are looking from.

·- You were into the mini scene and got out? 8O This is rare to hear of for sure.
- My suggestion to you is to RUN.. run as far away and as fast as you can and NEVER look back.

he wants a mini.
just go with a billetware +1 frame or a sik50s frame with adjustable sub-frame, lahaye long travel swinger, marzocchi shivers, 110 iShock. Youll be fine.

I have the setup that Design is talking about. I love it, works awsome. The only problem is, i dont know if they have a spring rate high enough for you.
