Mar 10, 2003 3:48 PM | | I'm in the market for a FS under $1500. What should I get?
Sugar 4+, Fuel 80 or Jekyll?? Any suggestions? |
| how about this | walter
Mar 10, 2003 4:22 PM | | take a look at the specialized stumpjumper fsr comp. its got a fox fork and rear shock, xtr rear, and it is disc ready. if you can find one, they should be right around your price range |

The Stumpjumper XC Comp is a great value- even comes with a Disc wheelset- add a set of inexpensive Discs (Shimano Deore Hydros or Avid Mechs) and you are set.

Mar 11, 2003 12:08 PM | | $1200 at supergo is a pretty good deal, especially if you want a high end manufacturer for basically the same bike as an ASR which is $$. |
