hey guys,im rather new to full-suspension bike riding.my current bike is a hardtail.
criteria is speed.....60% pavement.....40%offroad
plan is to get a frame itself.
no intention to get a full stock bike since i dont find the component fits the price.
never rode any of specialized bikes before.
currently struggling between getting a anthem 1 or a specialized epic expert /stumpjumper pro frame.
lbs told me the SJ is for trail riding.and he recommends the epic and anthem more.however i have read reviews about the 08 SJ is a XC machine.and i have been following the news about the 2008 redesign frame alot.
so could anyone help out?
any advise is appreciated.
thanks
