Hi, A friend is looking for a dual suss bike mainly for Marathon type riding. (i.e. Sani, Berg & Bush etc.) He falls into the BIG GUY category: 6ft 5inches tall ±119kg Hands like a skottelbraai... get the idea? Questions are: Carbon vs Ally frame - Advantages etc.? 2 x 10 vs 1 x 11 (likes simplicity) Bike suggestions At this stage the SantaCruz Tallboy © XXL is at the top of the list of bikes, anything else he should be looking at? Any advice or own experiences will be appreciated.
