Ok, I'm definitely new to the DH scene. I started riding DH about a month ago when I got to college. I'm currently riding a 2006 scott voltage dirt jump bike on DH. It's a great bike for slalom but its just not a DH bike. (however I have beaten people on DH bikes with it ) I'm on a fairly tight budget for a new bike (>$2000) and I want something thats on the light end for a DH bike.
I really like the new Scott Voltage FR. My plan is to get the Voltage FR 30 (pic and link below) and sell the rock shox domain that comes on it and replace it with a dual crown fork (probably a boxxer)
So I guess my question is will this make a good light DH bike? If not, what are some better options for a complete bike in that price range?
