Am I crazy to start thinking I should sell my Spot and buy a Supergo Burner Frame?
Anybody else feel like the Spot is too much bike for general XC use? Yeah I like to jump off stuff, but nothing to big...mostly just your standard knee high type jump/drop.
Seems like I'm pedaling alot of extra weight uphill and not really reaping the full rewards...my everyday trails are pretty smooth and uneventful.
I just recently bought a fully rigid singlespeed and realized that it is almost as nice to ride as the 5 Spot! Well...in a different sort of way....it is a rough ride, but it is so light and snappy that it makes flat trails and uphil so much more exiting. I defiately want to keep a FS bike, but I'm thinking maybe I just went overboard with the 5 Spot and should have went with the cheaper and lighter Burner.
Am I nuts to start second guessing this? Anybody else think the Burner is the better bike for your average XC rider?
Thanks
