Are you going like full on downhill or want to have something that can climb too?

Also, budget plays a huge factor

I was going to go full out down hill. Like the kind of course where you take the lift up and pick your line down the mountain.

Alright. You want a solid bike. Triple crown forks are a must.

Easiest way is to look around on craigslist. I've seen some decent Kona's people have made into DH's, specialized, khs, yeti, santa cruz, iron horse...

If you get a serious answer for such an obviously fake thread...

I'm going to murder whoever gave you that answer for being so fucking idiotic.

Wow man calm down, I only ask here because most downhill courses are on ski mountains, so people on here are probably very knowledgable. Don't get your knickers in a twist.
