    Turner 5-Spot.

    Price is "reasonable" when considering the bike you are getting.

    Get a turner 5-spot, then get lost in a sea of turners out in the OC.

    The Turner is a Nice bike but get a Giant Reign. You get 6 inches front and rear that can be pedaled effieciently . It is a VERY REASONABLE bike at any price point.

      I agree. The Reign 2 is a very nice ride for about $2000 complete.

        Wow. You guys have already ridden it? I thought it hadn't been released yet, I guess I'm wrong.

    Santa Cruz Heckler

    You should be able to get a good used frame on EBAY for $600 to $700. Nothing will be better for the money. Go with a Z1 or a Fox Vanilla fork.
