Can't remember if I suggested JMC

For those small guys, it has to be the JMC Micro Mini, talk about trick, I have mine down to about 13lbs in weight, not bad for a bike thats over 20 years old !!!!

DY JMC best bike i ever had !

Mattdub · « **Reply #34 on:** July 08, 2006, 11:15 PM »

Absolutely no question as number 1 (we are talking RACE bikes) .

GT Pro 83/84/maybe even 85 . ( I had an 83 , Faze 7 Custom build from Joe Burlo)

More people rode these bikes early on before being sponsored , subject end lol .

Others for me were Redline PL20 , VDC Gorilla 24" .

Think they used the Tapered leg Redline forks from the later series 3 with the TA frame... in Army green, nice.

Patterson XL - fantastic race bike, low slung, long and fast

jon016847 · « **Reply #43 on:** July 10, 2006, 11:11 AM »

Well it depends on your age, but for sure JMC had the best overall range of f&f for every size of rider,

For example, if you were age about 10, you could not get much better than this

And if you were say 12, then this would take some beating

Infact there is a frame and fork set for every age / size rider,

JMC rocks, !!
