I am looking to purchase a frame to build up for next summer. My bighit (old 2002 comp) has been treating me well but I feel the need for something new.
Which brings me to an asx. I have a line on a good price for it, I would have all the parts for it. But I wonder if good from 6'4inches to 7 inches would be signifigant. Biggest differences on paper are the extra travel, better shock and potentially more active suspension (I don't know for sure, but my bighit doesn't feel like it does much in the rough stuff)
So is it a worthwhile upgrade or should I suck it up and get something longer travel. I also have a line on a full 2006 atomik which is an option as it is more travel.
As for how I use the bike, some dh, some trails/freeriding. I tend to like to keep my bikes pretty versatile as the terrain around here warrants a lot of different riding styles.
Thoughts? Thanks
