im stuck. i live in texas and have a bullit set up for DH/Freeride. Inverted fork, three piece cranks, the works. I just can't ever ride it. I live in texas and will for the next couple years until i can relocate.
I tried selling the bike and lost heart in the matter. I think this bike is just too good to let go. The basic design hasnt changed since i bought the bike in '01 (i am still running the fox RC) and i truly love the bike.
I was thinking instead of selling it set it up for a more user friendly platform. i ride trials and never much got into Urban FR but i love descending 10x faster than i ascend.
The basic question, if you were going to set up a bullit for heavy XC, maybe some light DH (no black diamond or racing) how would you do it? I love my hope breaks and have the starts for an XT drivetrain but what else?
Also, is the 5th element worth the upgrade? it seems like a good chunk of cash and i cant ride before i buy (I think i am the only guy with a bullit in a 300mi raidus of the hole i live in) and need opinions.
peace
