hey guys
i race downhill (and train specifically for it) all year long, and i own a 05 turner dhr
my main training location has no mechanized lifts, so i have to pedal to the top: the problem is that pedaling a DHR is a real pain in the ass, because i can't raise the saddle, and the seat angle is laid all the way back
also, lately i'm having issues with my back: inflammation, severe pain, etc so i can't pedal my DHR at all anymore
so i started looking for a new frame with both DH specific geos AND a more pedal friendly body position, and the only one i could find is the new transition blindside
question: do you think the blindside actually allows a (relatively) pedal friendly body position?
(if you know any other frame with such features please let me know, but keep in mind i can't afford to spend much more than the blindside costs, which should be around 1500 $)
[sorry for my poor english, you know here in italy we suck at it ; ) ]
