now that's the kinda thing i'm after!
a stoutly built bike, which i'm hoping would be usable for other duties if it were loaded up with new bars, stem & post...
hmm
also, can "4x" bikes be used for xc? like, there's the santa cruz blur 4x, or the 'dale prophet 4x, both of which are overbuilt - what's the geometry like on these then?
