I have a almost mint 03 Quasi-moto DH with a 888R built up nicely for DH, weighing in at 41 lbs. I recently added a Hadley / Mavic 823 wheelset. I've used the bike twice for DH and love it. Lately, I've been considering replacing my trail bike (currently 01 Schwinn Straight 6). I was thinking of converting my Titus to a 6 in travel trail bike with the parts on the Schwinn and eventually building up a new DH specific frame. Herein lies my dilemma - what do you think is the best way to go about this?
1. If I go through Titus, I would need a new medium seat tower ($265), lower swingarm ($350), rockers ($65), new shock ($225+).
2. Buy a used Quasi frame and switch out the rear triangle, shock, and seat tower,
3. Find someone that wants to convert their Quasi to DH and swap rear triangle, shock and seat tower.
I've also thought about keeping the Quasi DH for DH and building up a new 6 in trail bike. But, the more I look, the more I realize that the Quasi is one of the better 6 in travel trail bikes out there.
Any thoughts or recommendations on how I should go about this, or whether I should do anything at all? Thanks.
