Well, I am looking for a sturdy trail or AM hardtail that will comfortably fit a 130-150mm fork. I am a big guy and I think hard tail is the way to go because my budget is a bit limited and finding rear suspension that will hold my fatass may be difficult. My price limit is realistically 600-800 but might go up to $1000. I will be doing mostly singletrack with as much downhill as possible. I like a thicker frame with some contours and curves.
Any suggestions for a frame/fork combo? I am also looking more toward used bikes due to my budget and plan on saving in the future for a brand new bike.
Thanks.
you would want to look at some of the shore hardtails from norco there sturdy and can handle a lot of abuse and there very easy to find and super cheap
I have been looking around pinkbike and also at my local bike stores. I have a very small budget of only $700, and I'm not sure what is best for me. Do you think that I should buy a worse, but new bike, or a better bike that is used? Not only that, I can't decide whether or not to buy a DJ or DH bike, could I use a DJ for less serious DH, and vice versa for the DH bike?
Ok so i want to get into downhill, ive been riding bikes all my life and i would classify my self as a decent rider ive been looking at kona stinkys and glorys but i want to know what you guys think i should get my price range is 700-1000 some feedback would be great thanks
