I gave up long ago after my first DH bike. I got into a Giant Faith for $1100
which was crazy cheap in 2005 and then changed everything on it. It did get me
on a DH rig right away so I can't complain too bad. I've taken to doing the
whole cost comparison thing on a spreadsheet now with what's been packaged and
what I want so I have actual numbers to back it up. I end up building a lot of
bikes from the ground up but to be honest a lot of that has to do with how
much fun i think it is.
