Hey,
Thanks. I am thinking Lapierre for sure now.
True true that 140 is a lot of travel for xc. In many ways I was thinking my xc bike should be a hardtail with good angles as it would do my riding goodto get one again. But then there are those days you really want your 5 inch travel bike and you think sod what’s good for my riding, just want to have the most fun. It’s basically when you are out on an xc ride in the woods and find some DH style trails.
I do a lot of donwhilling already and race DH every other weekend during summer, I have a new session 88 and was riding a turner DHR for the last few years. I therefore really don’t think I need a spicy, other than the mega avalanche, it’s just too big. I also have a hardtail jump bike and a road bike, so most ground is covered.
I have heard one very good review of the ghost and that is it.
But I reckon the decision is made – zesty, done, ordering it this morning, it is probably the most popular bike out there and no one has ever slagged it off, why wouldn’t I get it.
Thanks. Never been on here, it’s useful!
