1998 K2 DMC
Ride BMX UK august 1998: Here's the new Dennis McCoy designed bike for his new sponsor K2 Bikes. It's pretty simple and shares the same low-slung chainstays and unique fork design as the old DMC from Mongoose, but aside from that, it's quite different: new front end, reinforced headtube, revised geometry, simpler rear end, thumbwheel chain-tensioners, Gyro-cable lugs, and BB wishbone. John

Ride BMX UK august 1998: Parker's Gambler frame will be released soon, the new DMC will be available in the next few months, and both models will be available as a frameset or complete bike. The other frame in the pro line-up also include the Maintime, a 7005 aluminium frame for racing and trails. Other bikes in K2's range will be the Pick and the Shovel, both dirt/street bikes.

John Parker's frame
John Parker, www.notfreestylin.com: I had "everything" to do with it. There are a few more changes I will make due to time and money concerns. You can't do every little thing to do 'cause that frame would be like $500 or something. I pretty much told them what I wanted and got it. Like this bike if you wanted to compare it to my old GT. Longer wheel base, top tube still 20". Angles still the same but I dropped the bottom bracket super low, to like 11 inches, Lower than most bikes. Mostly because it feels good. On vert it helps you get a better pump. My friend Jason Davies did that with his bike with KHE, the Beater. People loved it, I rode it. I was like"this is a good bike". I stole it (the design) from Jason, but I asked him first so it was cool.
