Right now all I have is an AM bike (Norco Range) but want to do some DH at Whistler and Sun Peaks this summer, but i dont really have an extra $4k to spend on a DH bike - is it a good idea to buy a used DH bike for like $1500 to bring to the bike park every now and then? Renting can get expensive if you are going fairly often and i also dont want to spend too much since i will probably only end up going once every few weeks or so.
Whats the best option for someone who only rides the bike park once in a while? i would just ride my Range at the bike park, but i would rather not beat the crap out of it.
