Alright guys,
Heres what Im looking for.... after spending 2 seasons on 2 completelty different bikes (V10 and Chumba F4) I have come to the conclusion that instead of going for a light "finesse" bike or a big "plow" bike, I want something in between. But thats where I get lost when searching for a frame. I was considering a demo 9, only because I can get an insane deal. Anyway....
Some characteristics Im looking for: Top tube longer then 23", Atleast 8" of travel, Something that won't get bucked around easy, Pedals decently,
A little about me: I am 6'3'', prefer to not be cramped on a bike. My main trouble this season was in the open slope, I felt pretty sketchy on the Chumba, but on the other hand I did awesome in the woods.
Im confused, help?
