Marin Wolf Ridge vs Cannondale Prophet 600
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 |

How did you narrow it down to those two choices? Test ride both? If so, then you don't need our help; pick the one that "feels" better. And if not, then our help won't help either (you really need to ride 'em). Bill S. PS: Buy the red one! :-P |

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. "Andrew Reynolds" wrote in message ...
