Hey all,
Hoping someone can point me in the right direction for starting my search for a bike!
I'm a downhill rider looking to do a few long multi day rides and a little bit of the harder cross country tracks. The problem i have is I've ridden some x country bikes and hate the "forward" geometry of them compared to my downhill bike. They just feel really wrong and nervous to ride and I don't really want to spend the money on a bike that I don't like riding.
So could anyone recommend a lightweight bike with fairly downhill oriented geometry? At this point I am leaning towards a hard tail. I don't have a specific budget but would prefer to be looking at the lower end bikes, something quality but no fancy features.
Thanks for any help guys!
