Status: offline 		Out of the BigHit and Demo, which is the best bike? I know the Demo is supposed to be better, but I see a lot more people with the BigHit. The model I am looking at in particular is the BigHit III and the Demo 8 (I can get both slightly used on eBay - the BigHit is in better condition than the Demo but it is $300 more - the Demo only has some scratches on the frame).

It also has to look cool. I think the Demo looks way cooler than the BigHit, but the BigHit is not so bad.

Status: offline 		Ahh, that's a nice fact to know. Do you know how much the weight difference is, and is it really noticable?

Status: offline 		Nice bikes. I haven't been really into bikes since I was a teen, but I still do have a Mongoose mountain bike. It's funny how when I was a kid Mongoose was a top level bike, but these days they're all over Walmart...LOL

My all time favorite bike was a GT Pro Performer. It was this bright red/orange with black specks on the paint. I always wanted one but the $250 it cost seemed like a zillion dollars as a kid.

Status: offline 		Does anyone know which fork is better - the Fox 40RC or the Marzocchi 888VF? I have a choice of those two for the bike I want to get, and I was wondering which one is more durable, ahs the most features, and generally performs the best. I am leaning to the Fox at the moment, as I have had great experience with their products.
