The last time I rode downhill was in 2007 or 2008. Because of work, having to relocate...etc, I lost interest.
As of this week, I decided it's time to get back into it (moving back into Vancouver helped that idea...and making a trip up to Whistler this week also helped a bit!).
I want to play it safe for next season by getting myself an older but reliable bike and see how things go from there. Plus having a mortgage in this town really taps into any extra $$$ you might have. Based on my budget, everything I've looked seems to be from these years: 2005-2008.
From these years, what models do you guys remember being the most popular in terms of suspension design, reliability...etc??
I've seen a few Turner DHR's (just before they switched to round tubing), Foes 2.1 DHS mono's and Sundays to name a few.
Any ideas? Thanks.
