    dude i m selling my rampage the dj2s arent bad but there better than 04 jr ts. id suggest saving the 2k and spending 3k on a dual suspension bike. im a pretty strong guy, i squat 315 for reps, and pedaling the rampage uphill aint fun. forget what the adds say its meant to go down, but on downhill course itll just bounce its ass but not as much as an xc bike, but its still a hardtail. but its killer for free riding specially in the city of walls and stuff. if you interested email in buying mail me [email hidden].
