Buy new bike? Or upgrade frame?
 
Right now I have a trek bruiser 2, and I noticed that it was all that nice climbing mountain because its for jumps, yeah I know that. I thought of buy a new bike, preferably a full suspension, but I don't know whats out there.

I was looking at the Ellsworth, Gray Fisher, Haro, Kona and Santa Cruz. What kind of bike should I get? (doesn't need to be those 5) I usually do: street, mountain climbs, rocks, trails, I don't know the usual. I am looking to buy a bike around $2,000 looking for good components.

Or should I gid rid of my bruiser 2 frame and then buy a new frame?, but then I would need to buy new components, I don't think its worth it.

Help?...Thanks

You're close to getting booted from bikeforums, but that's what I think.

LOL you tried to type in caps!

Back on topic, I would buy a complete bike if you are going to spend 2000. You should be able to find an 05 bighit for around 1700. Thats if you want to do DH. It isnt really the best climber. A full suspension isnt going to be very good for street, so scratch that off the list. I think you should keep the bruiser and use it for street. Maybe an enduro or mid-travel bike would be good.

Steve walks warily down the street,
With the brim pulled way down low
Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet,
Machine guns ready to go
Are you ready, are you ready for this
Are you hanging on the edge of your seat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
And another one gone, and another one gone
Another one bites the dust
Hey, I’m gonna get you too
Another one bites the dust

How do you think I’m going to get along,
Without you, when you’re gone
You took me for everything that I had,
And kicked me out on my own

Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
To the sound of the beat

Chorus

Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
Another one bites the dust
There are plenty of ways you can hurt a man
And bring him to the ground
You can beat him
You can cheat him
You can treat him bad and leave him
When he’s down
But I’m ready, yes I’m ready for you
I’m standing on my own two feet
Out of the doorway the bullets rip
Repeating the sound of the beat
