Sorry, another "what frame" thread, I know.
I've been doing a lot of e-riding and have narrowed it down to these two frame for a build over the winter for next season. I've been desiring something more "plow-y" as I feel my major weakness when riding/racing is letting the brakes go through rough stuff. Has anyone had time on both of these frames or just some input on either frame? I plan to build them up similarly and will likely go with a CCDB on the rear for either frame. I'm definitely looking for a race bike, something confidence inspiring in rough stuff but also something I can still have fun on jump trails with (I know neither is really ideal for that but its not like its impossible). I currently have a Norco Aurum which I like a lot but want something I can plow better with when necessary.
Most of my riding is done on the east coast, Snowshoe in particular, so lots of rocks, roots, and mud.
I'm about 5'9" (175cm)so I believe I would need a M regardless of the frame I choose? Any input on sizing would be appreciated as well.
Thanks!
