Hi!
I need to buy a new frame to put all my kit on.. i want it to do almost everything.. i need it to ride to work on (short ride) and to do some medium weight trails and downhill on.. so i need it relatively light, and strong..
im stuck really..
ive thought about getting a hardcore hardtail, small frame... but ive also thought about getting a short travel full susser..?!

SUGGESTIONS WOULD BE GREAT!!

Much Appreciated

Or even a new Blur LT2. I rode one this summer and it was amazing for a trail bike. And it pedaled very well. But if thats not strong enough why not a 4X bike?

SANTA CRUZ HECKLER, NO DOUBT!

Just get two wheelsets/tires combo. One for freeride, and one for all-mountain.

Also whenever anyone suggests an SX trail, they overlook the Norco Six, which is very similar and can be had for a lot cheaper. Plenty of them can be found floating around used for very cheap (exactly what I did). Sure, you don't get the bling factor of a Specialized, and yeah they are a bit heavier (maybe a pound in frame weight), but if you're on a budget for a fully like I was, the Six will not disappoint.
