Hi guys,
It's been almost four years since I sold my bike, switched to road and headed out to school. After a few years out of the game I'm itching to get back into riding.
I've got some parts laying around from my old ride - enough that all I'm looking for a is a new frame and fork. I'm thinking the new Bullit cause it's cheap and I like single pivots - they're all I've ever owned. I like the look of the Totem but was also considering the 36.
Of course I know test riding is in order but I'd like a place to start so please help me out and suggest some other options I may not have thought of. My budget would be in and around $2500 for both frame and fork.
A little about me. I'm 5'7", 140 and am a smooth rider. I'm looking for something lively with around 7 inches. To start I wouldn't be doing anything more than about 8 feet to tranny. I'm 25 and am not a beginner. Just a dude who's a little out of the loop after some time off.
Hope that makes sense
