I just want to know what you like about your 26" wheeled dirt-jump/park-bike? What does geometry in the rear do to an aggressive hard-tail?
I've been looking at:
-Giant STP (they are everywhere)
-Banshee Morphine (kinda pricey, but heard good things)
-Fisher PHD (rode one and thought it was pretty nice, but have nothing else to compare it to)
The PHD I rode was aluminum and I was told to bail on that idea unless I like a chattery bike on dirt jumps and trails that are on the rough side and that steel might be a better idea. I know that I could use the search feature a-plenty, but I wouldn't mind if someone who was knowledgeable asked me a few questions and then made a recommendation from there to get me into something that I might more-likely enjoy the first time I buy.
I bought my first downhill bike this way, with the RM-community's help, and I loved it! (an 06 Yakuza R)
