Hey guys,
I am looking at purchasing either one of these frames but just can't decide between the two. I don't want the Rune to hold me back in regards to climbing but I am worried about the spitfire not handling the descents. I ride a lot in Wollongong as its my home town and I do a complete mix of riding, I don't thrush or ride super hard on the dh tracks anymore as I'm just cruising with enough speed to ensure I can hit all the gravity obstacles and I regularly climbing the mountain. Current bike is a meta am with 150mm rear travel, the shock just lets the frame down unfortunately, otherwise 150mm seems to be enough for me. Have a 160mm fork up front
I'm in Canberra for the weekend doing some riding and was hoping I might be able to sight and size up these frames. Wil be at stroll most of tomorrow.
Cheers,
Zeb.
