Hi All
I'm weighing up options on a full suspension frame/bike
Problem is (as I'm sure it is for many) cash is a little tight. However I'm not fussed about the most modern kit just a serviceable basis to scratch an itch and take it from there!
Current favorites are the Specialized Stumpjumper/Enduro FSR's - Giant Trance/Reign - Trek Remedy 6/Fuel - Kona Dawg -
It would be great to get some input from folks who may be running these bikes still or have had experience of them in the past - and any other recommendations you guys may have.
My budget for a frame is -£150-200 with a sight of around -£450-500 for a full bike (fully aware this isn't a lot ) Im not shy of doing some work so potentially could get something that needs a little tlc
Id ideally want something with 120mm plus. I much prefer going down hill rather than up but the bike will be suited for all day duties rather than a downhill rig
On a side note I have a Kona Kula deluxe ( last of the Easton tubed ones I think ) frame in decent condition as well as a pair or Marzochi z3.5s - V's & disc - ( have new seals that can go with them) - I was hoping to sell on to help fund some full sprung action - unsure what these items should fetch, so again any guidance would be greatly appreciated
If any one has anything they think may be of interest Id be open to any offers
Thanks in advance for any input
Matt
