I'm looking to upgrade to a full sus, at least within the next 2 years so far the short list is:-

Ellsworth Truth; Santa Cruze Blur; Santa Cruse Superlight; and Turner 02.

Any one got any additions or faults/praise for the current list????

You might want to mention your height, weight, riding style and terrain.

I would also remove Ellsworth from your list... that man needs to be put out of business or learn
what customer service means, IMO.

Two years from now, those models either may not be available or may have changed radically, along
with being replaced by some new radical technology

Well, DUH! However, in the meantime, he's keeping his eyes on what IS available. If you would like
to present us with the lineup for 2006, so that he can keep current with what will be available when
he's ready, be my guest.

You didn't mention height/weight, but at last one of those bikes isn't suitable for someone 6'4" or
over - even in the largest frame size available.

The Superlight has a weight limit of 190 lbs too, IIRC.

A VT? Not really in the same company as a Blur or Ellsworth, is it?

Turner - Spademan loves his, and it is an excellent bike, plus, even smelly old Jock Duff gives them
the thumbs-up.

I love my Giant VT1. Ride as many bikes as you can get your hands on, then decide.

No experience with the O2 but I have a Turner RFX and its superb, the basic design hasn't changed
for 9 years.

I saw my first La Bruja in person last weekend. One of the guys who works for Snowshoe rides/races
sport DH on it. Beauty of a bike. Graham should add it (or one of their other rides) to his list.

But that can't be because the magazine reading am-b jester, howdie spankie wrote this: "Two years
from now, those models either may not be available or may have changed radically, along with being
replaced by some new radical technology" and he thinks he's always right.

Thanks for your response, you make as much sense as asking about a model that is available now but
may not be purchased for up to two years from now.

Not to keen on the look of the 'La Bruja' but the 'El Fuego' and 'El Saltamontes' certainly look
interesting..
