The Prophet really is a free-style bike. If you want to do cross-country
stuff on a bike that can still do the other stuff nicely, I'd try a Santa
Cruz Blur. The Blur (and the Superlight) are do-everything bikes in a way
that a free-style machine like the Prohet really isn't.

I want to get a full suspension bike and have narrowed it down to these
two. At the moment I am tending towards the Marin. I had the original Mount
Vision some years ago but regreattably sold it.

I am getting back in to mountain biking and I want a do everything bike -
up hill, down hill, cross country, single track, bomb holes small jumps. I
am not very brave so don't do big hit stuff or steep downhill. I just want
a reliable, comfortable, fun bike that will increase my confidence to go a
bit quicker.

What are your thoughts?

Cheers

Andrew
