I’m trying to choose between 2 different frames from the same manufacturer.
One is an updated version of the frame I have (140mm)but a little lighter, bolt thru rear. The manufacturer says this is a wheels on the ground bike. The other is 160mm, bit (1lb) heavier, all bells and whistles etc. This is sold as being happy with it’s wheels off the ground. I’m in the south west and like to ride the usual spots; tocks, mendips and trips to afan, cwmcarn etc. I’m wanting to do some DH stuff mainly cwmcarn and FOD. I’m thinking that bike 1 is going to be ideal for the majority of my riding but not really suitable for uplift days etc. Bike 2 would be OK for both (although not perfect for either). I’d really like to have one bike only, we don’t have a lot of space. Should I flip a coin?
