Looking for some tail...
 

well, a hardtail that is. turns out the homeowners insurance is going to help cover part of replacing my stolen bike. I can either rebuild my dream bike! start from scratch and build up something new, or buy a complete. so bikeforums, my question for you is this, what should i do?

option one: rebuild a stumjumper

option two: build up a schwinn homegrown frame

option three: buy a complete Yeti ARC

option four: get a full suspension bike

What SHOULD I DO!?!?

ooooo . . . option 3 or 4. ARC would be sweet indeed. But, then again, you're in God's country where the rocks and hills are big and gnarly. Go FS if you can ;)

You probably have the terrain to support the idea of purchasing a full-suspension mountainbike.

eh not too many big stunts around here. we have lots of climbing and fast singletrack though...

Lightweight, short travel(~4"), full suspension.

Something like the Giant Trance would be nice.

Arc

dang dminor. can I have a picture to remember it by? that bike was sweet!


I say yea on that one

Yeti Arc FTW. ****, I'm going to go look at pictures right now....

My vote is get the Yeti ASR-sl (in the pink... fastest color;)) or if you really don't want suspension then the arc is pretty sick.

I'll sell you an ASR-sl (large) used one season for the price of a new ARC :)

PM me.

fine. you talked me into it. i'll get a full suspension.
