Can't help but notice the value in the Hollowpoint. I have read the posts talking about the prototype and the 2002.5 model, etc. and think I want one. The problem is that I doubt I'll find a dealer carrying one near me, so I am not sure of sizing and I can't find the geometry on the various sizes. Can anyone help? I am 6'0", 175 lbs, 34" inseam, 68 cm reach.
Also, some of the posts talk about a 2003 model to replace the 2002.5 model that supergo is apparantly calling the 2003 model (more clearance on rear wheel and different shock). This is confusing as heck, is it true?
I am a midwestern rider, so mostly roots, babyheads, logs, some relatively short downhills, singletrack technical. Does the Hollowpoint seem like a fit for this (it has a bit more travel than I was planning on, I don't want a loose feel...I am coming from a 93' GT Zaskar).
Are the hydraulic brakes a pain to maintain?
Thanks
