Buying a new rig, help.
I currently have a Bontrager Privateer Comp, full XT. I'm thinking of jumping into the full suspension game and am looking at a Blur XC, full XT for about $2,700. The fork is a Manitou Black and I have my choice of the 3 rear shocks SC offers.
Whaddya think?

Save the Bontrager and make it into a SS frame, very cool retro cruiser bike, and then the SC Blur is a great bike, but personally have never been a big fan of the manitou blacks. Get a Fox Float instead which are very reliable and stiff. Ive had my Float RL for 3 years and never once cleaned the seals and the thing still works like a dream
