what do you think about and what do you suggest?
the following bikes catch my atention and i read lots of reviews about all but now i'm more confused now
gt marathon pro
scott spark-genius
specy epic fsr-stumpj fsr-enduro sl
xtension xeliteII
i would like your opinion on pro and cons about the bikes above just to choose the "one" best fit for me
thank's
I like the GT's design, The Flexbone looks scetchy but I would love to try one for a few days.
I have beat the hell out of an Epic for a couple years, and just love the bike.
The Scott Spark is the only short travel bike on my short list of next bikes.
I'm from the school of "if one is good for you, two has got to be better."
I would match that frame with a platform shock, and be one of the nameless rabble in the evolution of suspension, that they are trying to leave behind.
