based on all the bikes ive looked at i keep coming back to the reigns. i cant just ignore all the great reviews and advice from people that have ridden them, so i think ill end up getting the reign.
thanks for all the help everybody, much aprreciated.
Specialized Pitch.
Hard to find though.

is a new banshee wildcard for $2900 a good deal? (complete bike)
he will learn later ?????
hey mate, you're worse than a sheila shoe shopping. Stop looking around, pick something and then focus on getting that. It will make both yours and everyone else's life easier.

And my two bobs, like most others, get a Reign. I also have one and love it. Tried, tested and proven, it works. Great solution if you do both XC and DH but only want one bike.
And if I were you, I'd try and get to the bottom of why Daddy doesn't like used. It's not like a car that will cost you thousands if you buy a lemon.
I've only ever bought one bike new, never again. A 2-3 yr old bike will be half the new price. My Reign was $1200, perfect condition, rarely ridden. Wait for one to come up and then man up and bargain hard.

pitty you dont live in perth,got a mate with 2010 reign 1 hardly ridden 1000 bucks,got the dhx air piggyback shock which is valved better for descending than the float shox,,go hang out at ya local trail n offer the first rider past a sixxer for a razz on his reign,after a short climb n fun descent you will know if you want one!!!!!!or you can wait for the next giant demo day n test a new one and save the six pack for yourself
There you go, $1000 plus probably around $100 shipping depending on where you are in Oz.
btw, what size is it?
sorry i haven't said anything, i keep getting this error saying google chrome could not load the webpage. its finally working and i have finally found a bike.
i am getting a commencal meta 6.3 (2009) brand new for $1800. also my brother is getting a 2012 meta am.
will upload photos on the weekend after i buy it.
sorry for all the people that i have annoyed over the last few months
