I've got the first 2004 4130 made - selling it cause I prefer steeper geometry - but this frame is perfect for DS and MTX or tech FR/trails:

Will also consider selling it with Blackspire FR cranks, 34T ring, and Shimano XT BB. PM or email me.

hey, stop following me! 
Ay no es bueno.
a somewhat similar frame i was looking at was the banshee scratch... anyone has info on those? So i'm guessing Cortina did good on their warranty? how was the cust. service?

Cortina has excellent customer service - your email usually gets answered by one of the Cortina brothers themselves - they are riders, racers, and they build their own frames. They are priced great and made in the US, not Taiwan. They also don't have a 100 silly features or gussetts.
Also, they do things like offer to give you new stickers if you get your frame repainted - some other brands might charge you as much as $60 just for new frame stickers
good to hear thanks! 
customer service was good. i dealt with daniel cortina the whole time.
like 99% of all bike companies out there, they pulled the whole "it'll be ready this friday" and it didn't get shipped until a week later. but it seems like every bike co does that these days.
having updated info or color choices on their website would have helped out a bunch

speaking of silly features and gussets my letoy is still for sale...
anyways since you broke the first one so quickly why'd you get another one?
and why do you havea 26" rear and 24" front?
I'm assuming he got it replaced under warranty???
And yeah that 24 front on a 26 rear is definitely ODD
weird camera angle... here's a better one.
got another cortina because:
1) i really like the geometry and the feel.
2) the new generation of frames are built from bombproof straight gauge tubing, unlike the one i broke that was double butted.
3) where else could i have gotten a brand new frame for $250 (crash replacement price)?

the cortinas have one heck of a slack head angle!
dammit. all my pix suck. it's only a 69 degree head angle.
Corey, You fail at life
Glad to see your back on what you love to ride
mira al gringo fabuloso esta hablando de 69 y otras cosas que hace con su bicyleta. parece que le gusta mucho esta bicycleta...
jejejeje!
si, yo mucho amo esta bicicleta. lo tomo para acostar cada noche.
