First to say, all are stock bikes and in exselent condition (like new)

I have driven bought bikes and dont know witch one to take.
Lapierre has better fork (Sector with Uturn 150-130-115), better brakes (Formula RX) and geometry is better for climing. But it has weak wheelset (M525 with Alexrims SX44) and some Shimano cranks

With Specialized, geometry is difrent. BB is lower, bike is longer and its better to downhill (dont know how does it climbes?). Wheels are better (Specialized Hi Lo / Pitc), has 20mm hub, Sekter tk is gr8 for going down, but dont know how would climbe with here because dont have lock out only compresion and rebound. Has Elixir 3R sl brakes and Truvativ GXP 2.1 cranks with bashring, and pitch is 2011.

So can u give me some advice on what to buy? I like bought bikes but have money only for one Smile
Like to raid uphill and to go fast downhill. Any help will be apricieted Wink

Untill i make up me mind, zesty was sold so that only leaves pitch
Pitch is a bit longer and it has lower BB, i know it would go awesome on down, but how it will pedal up? And also sektor tr has only compresion and rebound, dont have lockout. I was thinking to go with pitch, and then later to buy some lyric or fox float.

What are ur ekspiriance with RS Ario and with Avid Elixir 3 R SL? I have read some bad reviews about this two :/

zezty gone?

the RS may suffer from poor hydrodynamic lubrication of the bushings in high humidity low teperature use - this may lead to poor tracking in undulating off camber corners, the mocified RS rev2.03 has a taper/chamfered fluting in the bushing that improves this. the 3 R SL has been reported as having poor modulation when cold and a lack of feel when hot, but otherwise are OK....for riding home from the pub they should both be fineSalute

as an upgrade for any pubbike an adjustable angle headset will allow you to dial in a steep angle to ensure you can get to the bar quick and avoid the queues and after a few frosties you can just rake it on out and cruise home with the rock solid stability grace and equilibrium of a tightrope artist....Pimp
