sweetest bike ever


Why do i always find these things when I am broke? Its just sad lol. So I have been looking for a full suspension bike. The main things I have been looking at are price, weight, and versatility. There are a ton out there that are great bikes, Santa Cruz blur, Titus moto-lite, Specialized Stumpy FSR and so on. None have even come close to this bike though. I am talking about The Scott Ransom. This thing comes in many variations the ltd (around $6000) to the Ransom 40 (around 2700). The obvious difference is the higher end ones are carbon fiber and have better components, but all of them are exceptional.
What really makes this the bike for me though is the rear suspension. It is 6.5 inches of travel, that is huge. What makes it better is this. You can adjust it to either 6.5 inches, 3 inches, or you can lock it out. This means you have 3 bikes really in one. Finally the topping on the cake. You can adjust all of this FROM THE HANDLEBAR! Yup on the fly. You can be flying thru nasty downhill rock gardens, then when you hit flat or uphill lock up the rear and climb like a mountain goat. Oh yeah it weighs 31 pounds......
