Everybody is probably fed up with me so I apologise for that!!!!

My last question on bike buying advice.

I have got it down to these two, for trail a I bike park use, I don't do huge downhill sections as around Lincoln there aren't any, so what are your thoughts, I an thinking the Whyte purely down to my needs, but the reign 2 and it's spec keeps coming back at me, they are both currently the same price.

    Personally I would go with the Reign, but the 901 would also be up to your requirements. I guess it boils down to HT vs FS, only you can decide. But the Reign 2 is an epic bargain which you may regret missing out on.

    If you want a ht, then obviously not the reign, but other than that, the reign is superior in every way!

    Your helmet is impotent? That is sad but I'm sure the bike will make up for it.
