Hi all, Would have introduced myself, but couldn't find anywhere to do that...
new to this game, not had a new mountian bike in 17years and used to love doing a bit of everything so am looking for an all rounder really. Think is when I am going into shops, they all seem to not even want to talk about the fsr xc, and push things like the cannondale Prophet.. Now I love the look of the pitch, but found that it was just way too bouncey for any kind of normal riding, and I did like the Prophet and found it a much nicer ride (and would suit me better for what I want it for) but why do I keep being steered away from the XC when it is probably more comparative looks wise to the pitch, and more type wise to the prophet, so surely would be a sensible suggestion?
Any opinions welcome.
Cheers
Shane
