Myself and a friend are considering both of these frames.
I wouldn't normally post this kind of thread as I know there's no substitute for riding the actual bikes themselves, but there's simply no way I can get first hand experience of riding them.
Basically, I'd like some real world experience...what you like, what you don't like, how durable they are, what the customer service is like, how easy are they to set up (I know the m9 has a lot of adjustability, how much of a pain was it to find the sweet spot with it?). If anyone's ridden both a comparison would be great too.
If it helps at all, I'm coming off a medium Sunday and I vaguely know what I want from a bike. I've got my shock tuned so that there's plenty of support in the mid-stroke, and I love the way it rides at the moment. It's also got -1.5 reducer cups, and I might want it a wee bit slacker...63 is probably the ideal for me. How do the m9/dhr compare to the sunday?
My friend rides an 06 demo9 and he loves it (personally I hate the damn thing, feels like riding a plump viking maiden into battle), but he's not so sure what he wants from a frame. Again, how would the m9/dhr compare?
Any input appreciated!
Cheers,
Harry
