$1700 is still rather cheap for that bike, I'd take it if I were to get a full suspension.

... that bike does not worth $6500...

you should check out ironhorse full suspensions. They go for like 2800 and come with the most decked out components. The Frame looks pretty sweet too.

So you have owned or ridden the frame then?

I hear soooo much trash talking about the new Ironhorse stuff, but 99% of it comes from people who have absolutly no experience with the bike itself.

IMO the SGS bike are one of the nicest bike in its price range. I have yet to hear a negative review in any of the mags about them. I had the chance to ride one and I was deffinatly impressed. If I had to buy a new ride right now, the SGS Downhill Pro would probably be my choice.

But I will probably get flamed because its not a Norco/Kona/Specialized.

The SGS is a much improved version of a specialized.One sweet bike!And it has a 26" on the back.

The KHS sold for 3000 usd.How does that translate into 6500 cad?
