I have used the search function and found answers to most of my questions, however I have a couple that I could'nt find answers for.
If I did get this bike this would be my first "true bike...." . Since I am new to riding DH/FR would this be a bike that would suit me well?? I look at it three ways: 1. If I got this bike I would be able to xpand and learn new skills and eventualy be able to use this bike to its full potentail. 2. Getting this bike with a nice and solid set-up would eliminate my having to spend more money upgrading a lower end bike or buying a more capable bike (once I am a more experienced bike rider). 3. Get a bike more suited to my experience lvl and upgrade/buy a better bike when I am a more experienced bike rider.
Also, I read that there customer service here in the States in less than satisfactory. Has this problem been fixed or is it still the same?? One more thing, how does this bike handle big guys?? I am about 6'1" and 245 pounds, I tryin to loose weight and get down to around 220.
Sorry if what I wrote is confusing, I am not the best writer, and I thank you in advance for all your input.
BTW: The bike isused and it has an AWESOME PARTS SPEC on it.
