Well, here's what i want exactly
Lots of travel 5 or 6+
Ability to DH/and hit large jumps and drops
Comfortable to ride over flat distance 2-5 miles
Medium or Small Frame? I'm 5'7 145
so far all the bikes i have seen in the classifieds are either all-mountain with limited travel or DH rigs that seem impossible to ride up trails the actual bikes that seem perfect are the newer 2010+ and they're typicallty 1500-3500
I've got a budget of about 5-600, i love my GT LTS but it's pretty old and out of date ( V- brakes, 100 mm of travel in fork, rock shox deluxe rear) and to get what i want out of a bike with it would cost as much as a newer bike
I'm open to all suggestions
