I sold my M1 after a bad crash in April 2002 and now I'm ready to start buying parts for a new bike for next year.

Santa Cruz has no more Super8's. That's what i wanted. I'm looking for recomendations. After having an M1 I don't want another race bike.

I want a frame that's over built and beefy. I will run a 9" Risse Champ and 24" 3.0's. For abusive freeriding and big drops. Since I'm in Texas, I do not get to see bikes in person, only in print or on the web.

Thanks,

Joel

Hey joel, I have a large super 8 for sale in the buy and sell forum. Take a look at it and tell me what you think. I'm open to any reasonable offer.

Later, B/E

I personally would go for something like a ClifCat. I am not speaking from experience so I really don't know what they're like.

a new Karpiel Disco will do you quite nicely. i've got one with full avalanche. its www.karpiel.com
if you have any questions just ask, i love this thing. you can get a rear triangle just for a 24inch wheel. and with the new adjustable headangle/shock position its great.
also check the www.go-ride.com pics.
