which suspension frame?!?(6 posts)

which suspension frame?!?mike
Sep 1, 2001 11:10 AM
I got back into mb after seven or eight years, I want to build up a full suspension bike over the winter (I know, it's early). I'm totally confused on what type of frame is the best in terms of rear suspension. Specifically, I'm baffled about which rear linkage setup is a better design than the others. There seems to be way more configurations than the motorcycle "unishock" versions I'm somewhat familiar with.

The bike's basically for xc, nothing too radical (freeride), and I'm not overly concerned with weight issues.

Any advice as to type/manufacturer is very much appreciated.

thanks,

mike

Visit the Titus web page and they have a section explaining
all the different types of suspension. A price range is also
something people will need in order to help you!

I figure since I'm, spreading the cost over six or eight months, I can afford about $1500 or so at the outset.

thanks,

FYI: I tried to go to Titus.com however i did not get a bike company.

I am also looking to build a bike over the winter, however I plan to only spend aboot $600.00. Any one else have any recomendations for looking up parts for a full suspension bike. The Pre fab ones's I have seen usually have some weak points ie. the forks.
