If you are thinking about running the Grim Reaper, I would look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself "Should I ride a 4 pound frame with holes in it?"... if you can't say yes with confidence, check out one of Eastern's other frames.

Leigh, I actually just broke my grim reaper 2. Also broke the grim reaper 1. I got dicked around both times about the frames. I'm a light street/tech rider.no reason why it should have broken.

Hi FIT_bOyEE, Just wanted to let you know that I am also running the Grim Reaper and have pegs on mine and have had no problems. I've done a few big rails on it and ride ramps daily with no worries. Let me know if you have any other questions. Thanks.
-Leigh Ramsdell.

the grim reaper frame always looked sketchy to me but for some reason i have always wanted to just try it out, i would be pretty scared to rock pegs on that even though karl poynter did, the dropouts look super sketch and like the would break, there so skinny
