Having bought a Supreme mini dh back in 2008 and loving the way it rode and handled, i wanted to take things to the next level

My old mini dh sold to a friend whose recently joined as Bartminidh



Selling the mini dh meant i could put a deposit down and order this.....





Had it around 2 weeks now, changed the tyres for some Maxxis 2.5 st Swampthings and i absolutly love it!!! Handles like a dream and the extra travel and the 740mm bars have really helped boost my confidence on a bike and took my riding to the next level  Grin

Have an idea of some parts i want to change when money allows it
     New Saint brakes
     New Saint Chainset, rear derailer and rh lever
     Fox 36's or 40's

Matt....

I have a Pro FRS stem (not an Atherton one)

Its great and was cheap, really light for the money, looks well smart

I have some PRO carbon bars on the hardtail. not the lightest at 200g but plenty strong and the carbon weave looks great imo.

Some nice upgrades. Looks nice. Wouldnt worry about changing the forks though, it's designed as a huge huck aggressive freeride machine, rather than DH racer, which is of course the supreme DH.

Those 8" single crowns are perfect for the rest of the bike really
