Hi I'm a 15yr old male 5 foot 4 and 50kg looking to get into DH riding if you know of any good brands of gear or know of an appropriate frame for under £250 with 26'' wheels let me know.
The highest quality gear you can get in my opinion is POC, it has lasted me through everything. It is pricey but worth every penny. Also, I have looked through the pink bike UK buy/sell section and have found many DH frames that would do for under 250£. Also, I would recommend starting with a hard tail and learning the basics if you haven't done so. If you are asking about component brands, Chromag, Truvativ and Race Face make good parts.
