I have been thinking about getting another frame in order to try something a little more "race-like" than the Karpiel. SInce I like the Foes Mono in looks and design I searched through old posts in order to find some info. However, I did find a lot of info, but I was quite surprised to discover that most people didn`t like it.
Most comments were like:
- it does not corner well.
- it is mostly for going straight.
- head tube failure
- bad CS
Is the Foes Mono a bike I ought to stay away from ?
Since I would like to try another frame I am in doubt what to search for. I will be using heavy suspension components - try to keep the rest of the gear fairly light and mostly be using the bike for "pure DH".
I need a frame which is good at tight, narrow, tecnical stuff. Lots of rock gardens and turns. However - since I am not a very skillfull rider I need a bike that dosent disintegrate first time I crash.
Any ideas if not the Mono ?
Thanks a lot !
