Cheers dudes..
Yea, the frame does have small diametre tubing, but thats cause its full 4130 Chro-molly, it doesnt need large diametre tubes to be strong.
This frames 6 years old now, and its been thrashed pretty bad (9ft to flat drop.. ouch).

And yea, it was single speed in that pic, but I've put gears back on it now so I can actually ride up hills without having a heart attack.

As a matter of fact, I owned a 125 before I bought this frame and built it up. The back brake, forks, and a couple of other things are left over from the 125.

Although the 125 was a great DJ/thrash bike, especially for the money, it doesnt really compare to the Trailstar. IMO, the trailstar just feels better in every situation, and doesnt have the harsh ride of fat tubed aluminium, and the geometry feels so much more stable when jumping. only badish thing is the short top-tube.
Ive ridden the DMR dirtjumping, downhilling, droping, gaps and a bit of XC and it loves it all, it really is a versatile frame. Plus these old ones like mine were hand made in the UK if im not mistaken..

I've got a pic of my old 125 around somewhere I think.. I'll post it up.

Dont take what I was saying before as slandering the 125 tho, by all means it is a great bike, and for the money it cant be beat IMO..
My 125 wasn't stock by the way..
