hello people of farkin
i am in the market for a new bike(i will be buying secondhand)
i am looking for a dually that i will be racing in a few of the state series rounds but will then be used for mainly a freeride bike
i need a bike that is fairly light for a freeride bike, something that can be thrown around easily
i am not looking to buy just yet i am just looking for some suggestions on which i nike i should look into
also my price range i would like to keep around the $2000 mark or below if possible
cheers

They are a good one, or a KOna Stinky, i got one, i do freeride and dh all the time. I raced this season it was good. I say nothing beats it in my opinion.

True i might have chosen bad words to get my point across, though i have tried a brodie diablo a kona coiler and a orange 224, partiot and a santa cruz super 8.

Cos i want a) More travel

c) I am injured and bored out of my brain.

WTF, when did i say upgrading my bike to 8 inches or more will make me win? I want more travel cos i bottom mine and i dont wanna get a new shock cos there are some frames for only a tiny bit more. How is it an excuse wanting a new bike? I want a new bike cos i want more travel, is it not my choice? You have NO right to tell me what i can or cant buy. How am i making excuses at all? I want a new bike, i have money, there is no excuse in that.

no one is telling you what to buy but as your topic suggests we are suggesting how to help so grab a tissue princess and wipe your tears.
