Buy one so you can tell me how it is.

I've got $3k set aside for a spring DH/FR bike purchase and the BigHit2 (with 888RC2 upgrade) is on my short list of possible bikes. Seems like a better deal than the Norco Shore 3 with same upgrade. But there's still many months before I buy anything.

At least the black bighit 2 will look really nice with white 888s!

I forgot to mention that the R9 has a Dorado Fork and Avalanche shock and the High Octane has a Boxxer and a DHX shock.

Hehehe. That looks like the VPFree I couldn't afford to buy as a complete bike. I liked the black better but that looks pretty sharp. How much did powdercoating set you back?

I wouldn't mind the BigHit1 with a DHX/888RC2 but I don't like Hayes brakes and the front wheel would need to be rebuilt for 20mm which is a drag. I figure it like this... If I get the BigHit 2 for $2000, sell the rear shock for $150 and the Drop Off Triple for $300, I could put a $1000 888 and a $400 DHX5 on there and come in just under $3000, or a couple hundred more than a BigHit 3.
