For a dirt jumper, Bennett really over built that frame, I bet he never actually rode one tho, looks too fecin heavy.

Here's my Bennet and my PBR. I didnt really like either of them   :'(

I didnt like the "droopy erection" toptube wishbone on the Bennet.  :-X
I didnt like the low chainstays on the PBR.  >:(
And they were both way to heavy!  :shocked:

(I sold both of them on Ebay for under £50 each. I would have like to still have them both now)

Them drops on the PBR are a bit '90's Standard' - (just to add I'm not slagging off Standard!). Is that rear left drop on the KB larger than the right (looks almost like it's a freewheel protector drop) or is it just shadow?

You and Kev can have first dib dobs on the KB if I ever get shot :)

Yeah, they totally are. I hated the early standard dropouts (which were way lower than the PBR)

Yeah, i did that on a few frames. Got the chain side dropout made bigger to protect the (16t) freewheel. I did it on my A-head challenger as well but I ground it all back again so they were the same.

I also put rear facing chain adjusters on the Bennet. They worked SO well, but didnt look very slick.
