ok well turners r usually quite expensive, that being said rentals get a beating. What size drops n gaps...n be realistick i really dont care how good you are im not gonna rip on you?

talk to the guy about what he rides to see if the turner is in good shape. rentals usually are cleand up but may have underlying problems

haha noone does... if your riding dominion n some of the tech n drops, like the phantom drop, your probably looking for a good versitile freeride bike (not stinky)
n the sundays can be modifiyd into that n r good race bikes. look into bikes like the bottlerocket or reign/glory the new sx trail ive been told has a more freeride geo this year so that might be worth looking into. but theres no reason to go full dh like the dhr

i was going to buy one of their rental sundays in october but i was told that the sundays are being discontinued, now i wouldnt care about that except for the fact that parts will be hard to find, do you agree?

i do agree with the fact that parts in the future may be hard to find. but if the price is right, it maybe almost worth it for the components that will most likely be newly rebuilt or serviced top of the line parts

it shouldn't matter too much, as the parts that may need fixing or replacing aren't usually made by the bike manufacturer anyway. if you can pick one up for cheap, I would go with it

i could get a sunday team, i think that is the best sunday, with boxxer wc's and a great shock, how bad of a problem will the parts be to find, i wouldnt be worried about the condition of the bike because id make sure i get the first pick out of all the bikes.

i remember my rental had a juicy 7 and a magura brake, forks werent the best but i saw some wit boxxers, how used do you think they would be. how many people, do you think, rent a sunday and go up the mountain and hit every drop and techy trail there. i think the majority of rental people do the lighter trials?

okay well ask them about the warrenty info, because if the compnents are still warrentyed then sram will replace them if they break. the frame will also if under warenty be fixed or replaced id assume

the forks r prolly gonna be boxxer teams. i think the one my frined rode while he was thee was a modified team with wc internals. so the compnents will be worth it. THE main thing is to make sure its still gonna be warrentyed
