yeah get a bighit, have a blast on it. most of the people on here spend £3K or so on bikes they can hardly ride anyway
or a pitch, 2 of my friends have them and have both done megavalanche on them and cwmcarn downhill several times, they are tough as old boots. One has upgraded the forks to lyriks, the others is still on pikes.
VERY good value for money, and as for the components, who cares if the crankset isn't XTR - Its going to need replacing anyway, then you can upgrade or stay at the bargain end.
Only thing is, put a 50mm stem on it.
