Hi all,
I'm considering selling my Craftworks HT and buying an ellsworth truth / sc blur. It'll be used for trail riding with Lots of climbs & some XC racing as well. Whilst the Craftworks frame totally rocks, a 7lb hardtail is a little heavy duty to rock up to XC races on.... time to move on
Now, in Australia, Ellsworths are about as common rocking horse sh1t due to price & I have never even SEEN a truth in person.
This poses two problems, one I have no-one I know to ask about quality & reliability of the bike itself. Two I have no idea how it rides!
From everything I read theyre ultra high quality & handle/climb superbly, but I want to hear that from some fellow Monkeys.
What's your experience with Ellsworth guys? As good as the hyperbole? Worth dropping $3400 on a frame?
The SC blur I have seen & it looks absolutel magnificent, havent ridden that yet either though.
Cheers
