I recently tried a pinn'r of a friend of mine and it was waaaay better than I was expecting it to be. BB's really low, everything's solid, pedals well, and soaks things up. Only problem seems to be the really steep head angle. It's advertised at 66 but it seems steeper.
I've heard about these bikes being great value but i was wondering how they compared to your typical "race frames". These bikes seem like real shredders. I have an angleset which would solve the problem of the head angle and would put the 13.8in BB in the DH race bike category.
Most of the riders I know who have used this frame haven't had experience with more modern bikes so it's hard to get a real comparison. Can anyone give input? Is there a catch to this seemingly awesome bike for the price?
