^Thanks.

Man, that would be awesome to have a 7" front derailer bike with real DH geo. 14" bb and a 65* HA!

I think I'm going to have to step up JVnixon to in front of Trojan Man as my new hero. He knows all...

Just got word today that the Maelstrom frame and shock is 11lbs. This is from Doug at Corsair.

Hmm, great to know, but for some reason I was hoping it was going to be a little lighter. Not sure why! However...it's a very stout, 7" travel frame. That's actually on the lower end of the scale of that type of bike, and has WAY more trick upgrades, 150mm/maxle, idler(no need for a chainguide, other than a Stinger, maybe), 3.5" stroke shock, full length seat tube... Actually, 11 pounds isn't too bad at all...

Yep, I feel the same way. The weight of it really turned me off about the frame... If it was 7 lbs to 8lbs like most 7" fames it would have been more of what I have been looking for. O'Well. It is still a nice frame!!!

Did you get to pick one up to see how it felt weight-wise?

I like the bike for the most part, but when I see these bearings I hear the sound of a trumpet going, "woooow wooow woooooowowow"
