Hey everyone :)

Looking at getting my first all mountain bike (second hand specifically, cheap and able to jump well.)

I was wondering if A 2007 Fusion Strangler 4x would be suitable for some all mountain riding. I was thinking that maybe putting two rings up front would make it more suitable for the climbs?

I should be able to get it for around $853.40 USD

Any way here are some specs:
Fox FloatR rear shock
Rock shox Recon UTurn 130mm coil (2007)
X0 shifter, X9 rear derailleur
Formula Brakes
XT cranks

All thoughts and opinions appreciated cheers :)

I know the owner of that bike and she used to shred on it.... it is a 4x race bike tho dude so the rear end is more about taking big hits than smoothing out the roughies. I say go for it, it's well specced for the price. Pity you'll never be as quick as the young lady who owns it now.
