Firstly hi to all! I have been cycling on and off and was heavily involved with BMXs when i was younger. A friend got me to try MTB'ing a couple of months ago and boy did it got me hooked! Since then we have been hitting the woods pretty regularly.
Have been looking around and have my eyes set on the Flash Carbon. I was attracted by the technology and uniqueness of the Lefty, just unsure which one should i get:
1. Stock 2014 Flash Carbon 3 29er
2. 2014 Flash Carbon 3, possibly store-built,
following the stock specs except:
- 26" tires
- XT (instead of X7/X9 on stock)
- Carbon crankarm (i think its SRAM)
- this frame can only fit up to a 27.5" tyre
but needs to be slightly slimmer than
conventional should i decide to change
3. A stock Flash Carbon with carbon
everything. 2012 model if my memory
serves me right maybe someone familiar
can id. All i could remember was it came
with:
- ELIXR brake levers
- SL-K handle bars
- XTR
- 26" Ralph, not sure if i can upgrade to
27.5"
- top of seat tube had red/yellow/green
stripes
- white/black frame
- white saddle and grips
Both Flash Carbon 3s are priced the same and is on a huge discount, around 55% from RRP when launched. The carbon everything costs about 15% more than the Flash Carbon 3s.
Not sure it helps but i see this on other threads. I'm 5'5" (170cm) and 130lbs (59kg).
