So I've been riding my DTT Supercross for a couple of years now ... with a short departure to a Anniversary Condor ... but now thanks to Gra Wadz a Subrosa DTT has stepped up to challange.

I love my ol'Cross but always wonder about other frames ... will the Subrosa finally mean I sell the SX for good.

There's only 2 of these in the country according to Bill Ryan from Supercross

The current rider ... WAL'd up because WAL decals look so sick.

The challanger ... Subrosa DTT

I wonder if anyone can work out who the loser was on both these frames??

Hahaha

I'll end up with at least one of these.

Keep me out the lopp the faith. Hahahaha. L

Give the Subrosa a few sessions before you pass judgement, changing loads of things at once is going to make it feel very strange when you ride it.

Subrosa built and ridden

to the world of Subrosa

First thoughts were very 'twitchy' and a bit short ... but the length was more a mental block as it seemed to feel longer than my SX. Kept Gra's advice in mind and stuck with it with an open mind for the rest of the evening... and loved it by the end...

Definitely gonna stick with this now and find the Supercross a new home

stuck a liitle 'swap' thread in to see if I can trade the Subrosa up for a 21" but I'm not really fussed either way ...

Most of all I felt myself gripping the bars more and keeping off the brake

Nice, Ed; I have always loved the Sub Rosa's; glad to hear that you are so happy.

How tall are you then Rob? I thought it was just a bit short for me @ 20.5 ... got a nice long reach stem tho

6' 2" Ed

to be honest Rob ... I really liked the Subrosa.

Don't know if it was the combination of new frame/forks/crank/peds that felt so good but to be honest if I went for another frame it would be a longer Subrosa ... Gra was right ... I'm converted

The old Supercross Extension is going to have to go for good

Fair do's mate

ED209 · « **Reply #22 on:** March 02, 2014, 09:52 AM »

So the Supercross has a new home and the Subrosa will be my ride...

Bye Bye Supercross ... its been a great two years ... almost exactly... as you arrived mid March 2012 ... farewell

( play the emotional music )

Fresh out the box style

First build style

Custom decal style

My Sport and SX ... green Team style

Lets lose the green... whats underneath! CHROME

Ground Master style

Sticker bomb style

WAL style won the day

Anyone wanna take bets on how long the Subrosa stays black?
