So I got drunk last night, ended up helping a buddy upgrade his Gemini to a DC Sherman, but I ended up with a 1.5" SC Sherman that needs rebuilt. I want to build another hardtail. What's a good frame?

What style or riding?
For all mountain/freeride - Sinister Ridge
Street/park - Evil Imperial

Go for the Sinister Ridge.

Interesting. Thanks!

Bullitboyz might have one or three of those ridge frames for sale.

 

[Zark]

Iron horse might be an affordable route
Woodman makes one as well.

That's beautiful, but I don't see any backflips in my future...

I could build a nar freeride machine though!

I like those Woodman ones... know how much they run?

EDIT - found them for around $500

Not bad... but still more than I am willing to pay for a hardtail.

I Dunno how much. They are a bit weird though, I built one up for a friend. The rear brake is mounted upside down. The bleed screw on the Hayes caliper points at the freaking floor

Tough frame though, serious beef there.

1.5 head tubes on hard tails are stupid. File the steerer down and go ride.

I vote that any thread that starts with these words should automatically be a sticky.

That's pretty bold to offer that up for someone in the asshat posse.

 

[skinny mike]
