speaking from experience, get a double over a bass. i have a double, and used to have a bass. the doubles standover is rediculously low. the bass has a short top tube, and if you wanna run trendy 30" wide bars (which we all know is actually very important haha) you will smash your knees with the bar ends. i love my double so much. and the konas break so easily. the eccentric bb thing always breaks at the bolts go with the transition, great warranty, great frame and not as heavy as everyone things (like 7.5 lbs or something)

as far as the rampant, they look really sick, and are basically the same as the double.

konig corsair isnt much of a dj bike, its like 5 inches. and the le pink seems overrated to me for some reason, as well as the killswitch... too much hype

I really like the Bass for its versatility, but I'd still go for the Transition.

why?
It has an extra inch of travel, so with the right parts, it can be a nice all-around bike.

You're hilarious.

No. It's a nicer-looking bike and has better ratings.

Its also possible to ride road on a 10 inch DH bike. Smart? No. If it has two wheels you can ride it in any way.
