I set 'em up...
I had a 2005 Horstlink 5spot which I though was great, then I tried a Cove Hustler(sold the 5spot within weeks) Had the Hustler now for 18+ months and it still puts a smile on my face.
What about the pace 405 or the hemlock. I do like the look of the BLT carbon.
The 'old' El Guapo looks much better than the new one.
Sinister splinter ER (not the xc) or MX, both awsome bikes with fully adjustable bb height, head angle, seat tube angle, travel from 5-7" rear up to 160mm on the front, and built by Frank the Welder, of Yeti/Turner Fame. Rare as well and have a mega industrial rough anodised finish, no need to ponce about with copter tape, it just doesn't budge.
the newer gruitr is supposed to be a beast as well
DW 5 Spot.....excellent bike....try before putting cash on anything else....you wont be sorry!
i've had both a heckler and currently a 5 spot - heckler is more heavy but very stable going down(ooer missus !) - 5 spot climbs soooo well and reacts instantly to any rider input - it also descends brilliantly and can cope with 3-4 ft drops without complaint(darent jump anything bigger so i couldnt comment) - i found the heckler sluggish compared with the 5 spot but it did feel more solid generally i think due to the beefy construction
hope it helps you decide
Daisy no bobbing, nowt wrong with Fox air cans, theym pretty tough.
