Thanks for the reply! I come from a 4x background but with the death of that sport I have found myself doing nothing but riding agressive xc / trails on my 4x bike. Figured getting one of these frames and putting all my parts on it would be a good way to get a bike that will fit all my needs.
Thanks for the help.
Thanks for the help.
Hayden: I'm very impressed, I mainly bought it as a winter training bike to protect the linkages on my enduro ride. I do road miles as well, so I didn't need a full on XC bike, I wanted something that I could use to ride xc, but then branch off and ride the more tech trails (I come from a DH background). The BFE pedals really well and hasn't held me back on longer outings, I even raced a 4hr XC enduro on it and it didn't feel out of place, unlike my fitness.
My enduro bike was out of action earlier this year, so I raced the BFe for a round of the UK gravity enduro series instead. Although a bit sketchy in some of the more tech/DH sections, it rode really well and I didn't feel uncomfortable launching stuff either. When summer comes round again I may throw a 50mm stem on to session the local dirt jumps.
I'm 5'8" and went for a small, it's worth e-mailing the guys as the sizings are a little different to your average Specialized. Hope that helps!
