So basically, I own a bighit. I work at a shop. I want a nice DH rig, but I also want a nice All mountain full suspension bike. I'm considering upgrading my bighit with a better fork (Boxxer team) and eventually the wheels, shock, and cranks. But for the money it cost to upgrade, its almost worth just buying a different bike (Again, I work at a shop...so prices are different for me).
Heres my question, should I keep the bighit and upgrade it as a stict DH rig and buy an All-mountain bike like an SX-trail or Rocky Mountain Slayer SXC 90 over the summer when I get cash. Or, should I sell my bighit for what its worth now (cut my losses) and buy an SX-trail, Demo 7 II, Demo 8 II, or RM RMX team and use it as my all around bike?
I'm aware an RMX and Demos arnt all mountain bikes, but if its top of the line, I cant complain working a little harder...I just like how thoughs bikes feel like you can plow threw anything, where the SX is a little less "burly".
Anyhow, heres my bike...I'm open for opinions. I'm just trying to figure out what I want to do, and as always, need some peoples opinons to help persuade me.
EDIT: Oh yeah, and I want to race the bike for DH this coming season, as I can drive now...
