i hired a faith 1 when i had a BB failure and i was very impressed with it to be fare, i think the main difference between the 2 and the 1 is the 66RC so i'd have to agree with phil that if you got it retro fitted with 66s it would make a fantastic bike. although i'm sure if you want it for DH then the forks it comes with would be decent enough.
anyway you can never have too much weight, that's what i say to justify my tank. i don't think i know you but i'm in for helping with the beating for riding at those stateside locations ;-) On Fri, 2006-09-01 at 20:28 +0100, Phil Aitman wrote: > >>>should i mention that i'm off to the states for 2 weeks, riding moab, > park city and Fruita, then 2 weeks of riding >>>in BC Canadia, or should i > just keep quiet? > > > Too late expect a beating next time you're out ;0) > > > >>>Is the Faith 2 worth buying???? > > If you're getting it mental cheap maybe, when I say mental cheap I mean > cheap enough to buy new forks and a wheelset which doesn't weight as much as > you do. > Drivetrain is good mix of Sram and Raceface Evolve.
