...I could use some help, and I know how lame these threads can be.
I've got 4 choices for my next DH bike. A few shops want to help me out so they are all within a few hundred of each other all said and done. Now, I haven't ridden any of these frames save for the Demo. Nobody around here has them in Larges, which is what I'd need to try. I'm 6'1" and generally ride longish bikes, have money arms, and I'm an expert level rider/racer. I'd rather go fast than do any sort of trick. Tricks are for kids and hookers.
So:
2012 Devinci Wilson RC Carbon (most expensive by a few hundred)
http://www.devinci.com/bikes/browse_18#18_55_158 (This build, but the new carbonz frame)
2012 Specialized Demo I carbon
http://www.specialized.com/us/en/bikes/mountain/demofsr/demo8icarbon
2012 Giant Glory 0 (cheapest by a few hundred, but... glory)
http://www.giant-bicycles.com/en-ca/bikes/model/glory/12352/58308/
2012 Norco Aurum 1 Dorado
http://www.norco.com/bikes/mountain/dh-race-park/aurum/
Help and opinions I'm looking for are:
Sizing issues?
Ride?
Defects/QC issues/Problem history?
Anything else?
Cheers!
