Sorry but i need the message board expertise:
Im a CAT 2 class rider who is trying to take racing a little more seriously, i currently ride a banshee scythe and want a more race oriented bike.
i have 2 used bikes in my sights,
An M6 with a boxxer world cup, cane creek double barrel with Ti spring, the components are mediocre( xt brakes, outlaw rims, heavy cranks, deore derailer). for a good price
a little more spendy is a Cove Shocker with Boxxer world cup, dhx 5 with Ti spring, and great components(elixer cr brakes, x.o derailer, holzfeller cranks)
the suspensions seem about equal to me so my question is: is the M6 vpp linkage very superior to the Coves, and is it worth the extra time of having to upgrade all the components? the difference in price is 600 bucks between the two.
thanks guys
