So I got a deal on a 2008 GF Hi Fi Deluxe for 2000 even (taking 650 off) - should I take the bait? He also has a Superfly Frame and I could build a SS 29'er up for roughly the same amount. Both are very tempting??? Is the Hi Fi the 29er version? Yes, the steel blue color one. I like this years color better but for almost 1K savings who cares right? That SuperFly has me really tempted though. Carbon frame - sub 18 pounds with front fork. That sounds like a blast to ride! It sounds cool for sure... However, I tend to be old school (or uniformed ). I get nervous about carbon fiber MTB frames. I know eveyone is making them, but considering how much a drop/crash mine, I wonder how well they can take a beating. I have a couple dings on my Alu frames than I'm not sure how well a carbon fiber would hold up... As for road frames, I think that's the way to go. But I will probalby always stick to metal frames for MTB's based on how I abuse them. |
