Full sus bike

[Graham Haller]

I'm looking to upgrade to a full sus, at least within the next 2 years
so far the short list is:-

Ellsworth Truth;
Santa Cruze Blur;
Santa Cruse Superlight;
and Turner 02.

Any one got any additions or faults/praise for the current list????

You might want to mention your height, weight, riding style and terrain.

I would also remove Ellsworth from your list... that man needs to be put out
of business or learn what customer service means, IMO.

Two years from now, those models either may not be available or may have
changed radically, along with being replaced by some new radical technology

Well, DUH! However, in the meantime, he's keeping his eyes on what IS
available. If you would like to present us with the lineup for 2006, so that
he can keep current with what will be available when he's ready, be my guest.

You didn't mention height/weight, but at last one of those bikes isn't suitable
for someone 6'4" or over - even in the largest frame size available.

The Superlight has a weight limit of 190 lbs too, IIRC.

A VT?
Not really in the same company as a Blur or Ellsworth, is it?

Turner - Spademan loves his, and it is an excellent bike, plus, even smelly
old Jock Duff gives them the thumbs-up.

I love my Giant VT1. Ride as many bikes as you can get your hands
on, then decide.

I saw my first La Bruja in person last weekend. One of the guys who works
for Snowshoe rides/races sport DH on it. Beauty of a bike. Graham should
add it (or one of their other rides) to his list.

No experience with the O2 but I have a Turner RFX and its superb, the basic
design hasn't changed for 9 years.

But that can't be because the magazine reading am-b jester, howdie
spankie wrote this: "Two years from now, those models either may not
be available or may have changed radically, along with being replaced
by some new radical technology" and he thinks he's always right.

Thanks for your response, you make as much sense as asking about a
model that is available now but may not be purchased for up to two
years from now.

Not to keen on the look of the 'La Bruja' but the 'El Fuego' and 'El
Saltamontes' certainly look
interesting..

That made about as much sense as your previous reply. At least you're
consistent.
