hboli4 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Hi All, any comments/suggestions welcome... Have been thinking of getting a dual sus for a while now. Love the hardtail and have spent countless happy hours on it, but have been battling in some races to keep up with the duals on the downhills and the 6km odd of 'graspol' riding they love to take us over...My hardtail is kitted with XT all round except for the SLX crankset, 100mm Tora fork, all still in good nic. Should I spend some money and look for a dual sus frame and rear shock and build, rather save some more and buy a 'full' bike(new or used) and still keep the HT or scrap the idea and just enjoy my HT. Also, I'm not too competitive, think the dual sus will be more for comfort than me worried about speed and keeping up in races... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kosmonooit Posted March 25, 2011 Share Building from frame is certainly not the cheapest option but possible the most satisfying because you find all the bits on the interweb that are just right for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hboli4 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Any comments by some Anthem owners / those in the know? From what I've found on the interweb it sounds like I can't go wrong with an Anthem 1 Hopefully me and wapad can do a deal... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
