As the summer comes around, I have been bitten by the new bike bug. I've scraped the cash together for a new fully frame, but I'm not sure what to get. I'm looking for a light, flickable frame that can hold up to some FR/DH/Dirtjumpin abuse. Here are some ideas, any input would be welcome:
(BTW, proly gonna run my z150 with a single ring and chainguide, doing decent sized drops around 7-10 feet, but I'm a light guy (120). Pretty much looking at 6 inch freeride frames)
Soooo:
SC Heckler/Bullit (Proly Heckler)
Cove G-Spot (Concentric Pivot = s**t pedaling?)
RM Switch (Likin this)
Balfa 2 step
Kona Stinky
Transition Preston/Dirtbag
Spec. Big Hit
Norco Six
Ellsworth Joker/Moment (pricey)
Turner highline/rfx
Giant AC
Orange Patriot (import)
Of course I'd love a BMW FQ, but I don't have the cash
.
Right now I'm looking at mainly the Heckler/Bullit or Switch, but any info on all these bikes would be appreciated. Thanks much.
