whole new bike or rebuild?

New bike.

Agread, new bike!
If it were a OK frame and you liked it Id say go for new parts as its always fun trying the latest stuff. But youll get the ultimate new WOW from a decent frame!
Good luck and keep us posted as to what you go with

The enduro isn't DH worthy. It's as the name suggests, its an enduro bike. The ransom is the same, you dont want to do anything but light do on those bikes. The Gambler and the v10 are both great bikes although you will most likely get more votes for the v10 in this forum. I'd be equally happy with both.

Those are all COMPLETELY different bikes. What do you want to do with it?

Few questions?
Whats a Giant Canyon????
What and where do you ride?????
Whats your skill level?????
Do you race????
are you a beast, or a lightweight?


Its hard to recommend a bike without knowing a little background info.

cheers

Quick google search turned up this.

Yeah, more info is definitely necessary.

ahhhhhh its the same as the "warp"
going from that to a full on DH race bike might be overkill.

Something like a Reign X, SX-trail, SC Bullit might fit the bill for a novice DH'r. They'd be less $$$$ and much more versatile.

Biff beat me to the punch...

Ah a Warp.
Yep new bike time, if your doing any thing more then basic trails (like foot paths). I picked up an '08 Specialized Pitch Pro on blow out. For everything in between DH and BMX. Only been a few weeks, but the weather has been getting much better. I have logged about 10 hours on it now, packed snow single track, hiking and booting down easy hills, even did a bit of jumping on it. Aside from the wheel set looking very XC (building up a heaver set for abuse), its perfect. Another aggressive trail bike worth looking at, for your dollar is the Giant Reign series. The Reign X being lot more DH worthy, much like the Specialized SX Trail.

Unless your looking for a proper Freeride / DH rig...

are you going to get 2 new(at least to you) bikes or just one that has to do it all?

do it all bikes ~6in of travel
SC nomad
trek remedy
giant reign or reign x
sx trail
IH 6point
knolly derillium T
Intense SS

Can I throw the Banshee Wildcard in the mix? 5"/6.5" travel and can accept anything from a 5" - 7" fork.

The answer is ALWAYS new bike

What is your price range?
