Don't know about that model, but 3 of my friends have older model .243's and they love them.
no, .243 only makes a hardtail frame. and components, but no fully frames.
wow, dude the DH is just a beefier version. I don't have one. But, everyone on here with a .243 loves them, so I think the DH version would be just as lovely. I think the main difference is the beefed up headtube. I wonder how many times you could fit "beef" into a sentence?
Beef beefed a beef with beef and later beefily ate some beefy beef.
hrm, now lets try it with bacon.
^^Thats the only one I've seen built up yet. Might want to ask this guy

they are only hardtails
I have an older .243. It's the middle version. Not as burly as the DH but still handles a DC fork. The.243 is AWSOME! Quite possibly the best hard tail I have ever ridden (Though I don't have experience with as many HT's I would like to).
Handles like a dream, very comfortable to ride, and will handle anything you throw at it. Buy it. You won't regret it. If you have any questions feel free to ask me.
Downhilling on a HT is an art unto itself. You need to be very smooth and pick your lines well. And run a beefy tire in the rear.

The name of your thread clearly says "racing" on it. This is for huckers and only huckers.
