So I've finally gotten my skill level to a point that I don't think a FS would be a total waste of money and I really enjoy DH.
I've literally upgraded EVERYTHING on my Hardrock.....really. I'm not sure if I would put it back to stock and transfer all of the good stuff over to a new FS frame or just buy a new bike outright. I for sure want to keep my hardtail as as a backup/commuter.
First on my list is some of the Giant frames. Supposedly the best suspension geometry out there. I would like to keep the bare frame (including rear shock) price to $1,500 or below if possible. I don't even want to think what it would cost for a complete bike in the range I want so I'm definately leaning toward transferring my components over.
I do a little of everyhing from riding the paved bike trail with the GF to cross country, to 45+mph DH fire roads. Getting ready to take it to the ski slopes for the first time once they close them to skiiers for the year.
Anyone know of anything in this price range better than Giant?
