I've been riding urban for a hella of a long time now.... (as you can see from my 24 Le Toy 3)

And I'm getting into the DH/FR scene... and I have a dilemma...

And I'm wondering, wich one of these 2 bikes is the best?!?!?

'05 Specialized BigHit Expert
'05 Norco VPS A-Line

As soon as I'd get the bike I'd put a Shiver DC on it (Thanks Sanjuro!!).... so based on the specs witch one is better

(I don't like Jr.T nor 888VF not adjustable)

Thanks for your help....

im pickin up the 2005 aline this friday. its a awesome bike and if you puttin a shiver on it its even better. It depends on what you want, the expert has 8 inches of rear travel the aline has 9. fox vs manitou,18 vs 9 speed, chainguide vs no chainguide, Sun rims vs alex rims, specialized tires vs kenda(rated best tire of the year by MBA magazine). theres also price im not sure what the bighit costs but the aline is 3grand.

Proper wheels v Kids bike wheels

Same for the Bighit, retail is about 2,999

If I get the A-Line should I do all these upgds? (I ride really hard)

Hope Mono M4 8inch front and rear
Shiver DC (Thanks Sanjuro!!)
Saint double with bashring and Cranks (duh!)
Saint rear derailleur
Shimano LX front
Shimano LX shifter
Saint rear hub

It should be a good DH/FR set-up I guess....

Maybe switch shocks later on.... I find Manitou swingers a bit better....

It would cost me about 3800$

Wow, I'm sooo getting the A-Line!!!!!!!!!

Thank you bike shop for incredible deal!!

I just got MSRP for the whole thing.... 2300$-2400$!!!

Thank you ABC Cycles and Sports!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love working there!
