Yep, another one of these "help me choose a bike" threads.
I am on the hunt for a new (used) downhill bike in the price range of $2500-$3500 (can possibly stretch to $4500).
Being 5'7, I can sometimes feel over stretched on certain medium frames and very cramped on small frames. Any suggestions? Getting to test ride downhill bikes around this area is just not going to happen.
So far I've found an assortment of appealing Norco Aurum's, Devinci Wilson's (aluminum version) and one Turner DHR. I am pretty open to suggestions if anyone has good experience with one of those bikes or anything else.
For what its worth, I used to own a medium Transition tr450 and it felt pretty good.
