Hey =]

Im after a full sus FR bike and i have about œ1000 to spend.

I would prefer SC forks, but i see quite a few Drop off triples coming on budget FR bikes. Thats not a major problem as an upgrade wouldnt be a problem.

I cant really up my budget either.


Thanks

    Im a little biased but the I-Drive systems are brilliant as I seem to manage to roll around XC courses on my DHi with not much trouble. If I had the money this is where it would go. Well you'd need an extra œ45

    Pain is not temporary at all. It sneaks back up on you when its cold and damp

    Ride it and see if you like it. Theres alot of them about but thats by no means a guarantee they are good. I've ridden a couple and they're pretty plush but I still prefer my bike as it pedals better. But then mines a DHi not the Flowta

    I think its fairly plush as my mate had it.

    soft shock on the rear though, but im not going to get anything fancy for my budget...

    I think i will just wait until the end of the year or something and get a stinky primo/sx trail....

    Check J.E James's website out for some bargain Kona's. I hate to advertise for them as they raped me with some terrible service but if you can pick up a bike on the cheap all power to you

    Look second hand, you'll get a highly spec'd older Bighit for œ1000.
