Title explains the main problem.
- I have about $1800 or so to put towards a bike.
- I want to learn street, park and dirtjumping better.
- I'm only 5'5 and 110 pounds and to learn these things ^^ I want the smallest bike possible.
- My friends are suggesting a 2003 or 2004 Norco 4by and I checked it out, it's pretty nice.
- The 2003 has all better components than the 2004 except for the rear shock.
- They think I should get a 4by so I can ride everything because it's pretty much an all around bike.
- I didn't want to be learning north shore and stuff, just park, street and djs which would be more along the lines of a hardtail.
- I could then still do all of that while possibly going to Nelson in a week or two.
- Some of my friends are suggesting a Banshee Scratch complete with a '04 Sherman Flick with Avid Disks for $1800 + shipping from a seller.
I really don't know what to do and I want a new bike bad, I've been working all summer pretty much to save for a bike and I have taken off over a week from work this upcoming week so I can ride everyday.
Suggest what you think is a good bike or what I should do with these bikes. I really think the 4by is nice but it's a full suspension and I was looking at a hardtail.
Cheers.
