I know there are a few Monkeys with Geos how did you go about sizing on them and how tall are you? I am looking between these 2 for the next rig and would have to wait a bit longer on The Privateer. I really don't need that travel but the $$$ difference is appealing and the GEO is correct so.....
Privateer 161 Or Geometron G13

I got a long g16 a couple weeks ago. It’s amazing. I have a disportionately long torso and tiny ass legs. In total I am 5’9” on the dot. I used to size up frames but have the seatpost try to give me the bad touch and hate all bikes. Now I am happy. Buy a geometron.
Nice, I'm interested in both these frames.

It has the looks of if a Kona and the Grim Donut spent an hour in a seedy motel.Privateer 161 in Review – All Killer, No Filler

The aesthetics of these very upright seat tubes and super slack head angles still look weird to me.

$1800 shipped for the Privateer is pretty enticing.

No.
6.5LBS frame weight same as most other enduro frames..
Hmmm, on their website Privateer mentions 6.6 lbs/3 kg without a shock for the proto. In the endurp-mag review they write about 6.6 - 7.7 lbs/3 - 3.5 kg, which is quite a difference. To me it still seems pretty heavy. I guess frame weight with a Float X2 will be close or above 8.8 lbs/4 kg.
