Thought I would put this in the DH forum everyone here would understand more of where I'm comming from.
I'm looking for a frame to replace my XC frame, but XC geometry is no fun to ride. I'm on the hunt for something lighter that I can ride all day (including climbing), with a little more slack HA, low bottom bracket and short CS. Lastly, it would be rad if it were cheap.
Some frames I'm currently looking at are:
Blur 4x - an obvious choice, but $$
Kona CoilAir - has the most dh-ish geometry of a smaller bike
Jamis XLT - 68.5 HA, low bb and short cs, and the '05s are nice and cheap.
Used Trek Liquid 55 - Rode one previously and is sort of what got me looking for bikes like this.
What else is out there that I could be missing?
