im going to start racing again in 2007, i dont know which bike to use, i built both of these bikes to look at but im bored of just looking at them now and it seems criminal not to use them for what they were made to do, so my question is which one is stronger and has better angles etc also where is the best place to buy body armour and lids from

JMC all the way it looks longer in the top tube for a start.
Darren rode Radmans DY at the Rad meet this year and loved it.

use the goose
but even if you arent gonna ride them get some chains fitted!!!
bikes look super ugly without chains
deffo go with the goose though
it's a good all rounder
if it gets tweaked, use the jmc

i have ridden a few gooses over the years
most recently being a supergoose 3, a few times at bones this year
thats why i say the goose
the jmc would be "cool" option. but i have never ridden one and cant really comment on how it would ride. the goose i know would be sound

Race the DY, get pads/armour etc from ChainReactionCycles. Brand-X are very good.

I'd say try them both too.
Never ridden a JMC so can't comment. But took Funmonster's Pro Class around MK and it was fooking lovely. Very solid.

my mate had a pc when we were about 12 he broke it three times in a year at the toptube where it meets the seat tube the replaced the bike fair play but he was just an average kid who had a 1/4 in his back yard and his dad had a few quid , they have tubes of varying thickness to save on weight , i think this is what makes it weak you wouldnt want to snap that sweet ride , id get one myself if it werent for this fact , ill stick to my sg3

just dont forget the D.Y has a steep headtube angle which will make the steering very quick.

I have ridden and raced loads of old school bikes... I straddled Aidey Kings JMC DY once bitd and cannot honestly remember how good it was
The Pro Class is the best frame i have raced. Light and responsive but also remarkably stiff and very stable.
Like the guys say tho... try them both
They are beautiful builds m8... you will look princely riding either
