dh or street?
right, toms trying to convince me to sell my tranny and buy a lotti frame and slowly build it up, it sound good to me and it would be nice to learn dh, but i could also sell my forks and buy some d-streets and see if i can get back into street by doing stair sets again, theres lots more i fancy adding to my bike like new wheels etc, but due to lack of cash i havnt been able to do, so, im now trying to decide, sell up and buy the lotti? or sell the forks and get d-streets? oh and the lotti's the 6inch version..
help

Agreed on hardtail DH, a fullsus alone is too limiting. Get .243 bike or something so it would be good for anything.

Possibly, how about something in between like a Cowan Ds run single speed?

Pretty good deal. Read the spec it's quite impressive. Single speed compatible too.
