Pittstop Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 Looking at trying my hand at more of the DH tracks soon, and looking at the following options as my current bike feels a bit small on steeper descents (Current bike is a medium Mongoose Black Diamond) Buy DH bike, or get a new multi-purpose frame and swop over the parts from the Goose? A full DH rig would then mean I had 3 bikes in the shed and could specialise each more, instead of having more generalist setups, though just a frame upgrade would most likely be cheaper and mean less storage space. Currently looking at some of the 2nd hand DH bikes on sale, or some of the more freeride frames on the net (NS Soda has my interest for some reason) Any thoughts or recommendations?
Christie Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 There was an awesome looking Ellsworth DH rig in the classifieds abour 2 weeks ago, for a good price - perhaps worth a look.
DR ◣◢ Posted November 15, 2012 Posted November 15, 2012 That is an awesome bike. Very niche boutique brand. Great price also.

I have been monitoring the classifieds. Been seeing options, but most are wrong sizes for what I am looking for (based off web geo at the moment)
jimmy hardtail Posted November 16, 2012 Posted November 16, 2012 Good 2nd hand large dh frames are like hens teeth. I've been looking for a while. Of course I don't actually have any money so...

I will be having money soon(ish.....maybe....depends on SARS). But in the mean time am planning to test the bikes that are on sale here, till I've made up my mind.

Pittstop Posted November 25, 2012 Author Posted November 25, 2012 (edited) I have a Large and a Medium Mongoose BootR for sale. Either as full bike or Frame only if you are interested. Saw the ad. Did respond to it, but at the moment waiting on money to clear through SARS before making final decisions. So still browsing options. Edited November 25, 2012 by Pittstop
