Just wondering what everybody prefers today regarding downhill bikes and parts.
Myself I prefer retro and am the same with cars , when I say retro I mean from about 2001/2004.
I know parts have got lighter and technology has evolved but I still prefer older bits , like magura gustav brakes and hope mono 6ti.
Marzocchi monster T , avalanche forks , 888 rc , 3 peice cromo cranks like Azonic 454 , balfa bb7 , karpiel , cortina dh8 , Brooklyn racelink , sun double wide and so on.
I don't know if it how they look or what but they seem to be built better and stronger.
Just wondering other people's thoughts on this , if you went into a bike shop and there was a new top of the range back in the day old bike or new modern what would you choose?
