Sweetest Dual Suspension Frame?

Of all the frames I have seen, the Ellsworth Truth looks to be the sweetest.

Any comments?

I rode a Turner XCE for years until I finally broke it recently and I never rode anything else that even came close. I couldn't afford to replace it with another Turner so after much research I bought a Rocky Slayer. I love it. It's tougher than Zena and just as beautiful to look at and ride. (Hunh, did I say that?). It's absolutely balanced and loves to get me out of bad situations. It has absorbed some terrible landings; I have to work real hard to get it to pitch me off.

Speaks the Truth about the others. Sunshine (my fiancee) is riding a Titus Loco Moto XS frame and rips on it. She just bought a Ventana SS frame and is still in the process of building it up. Granted it's not FS but it's a work of art all the same. I'm partial to the Truth but I have a biased opinion. The only other FS frame I've ever ridden is the Trek Y frame and the Truth makes it seem like a low budget Huffy. Not just a Huffy...a low budget Huffy...nuff sed.

I've been looking at the Intenses for the last few years, but now I'm on the Ellsworth bandwagon. We built up a Truth in my size yesterday and it rides really nice. I just need to decide between the Truth and the ID - even more travel!

Depending on what kind of riding you do, Titus is a top knotch company. I have been riding/racing the Racer X since November 2000 and personally it is the exact bike I was looking for. Rides & handles like a HT, but with 3.5" suspension. Best racing bike I have ridden to date

I'm with Kman. Titus all the way. The racer-x is about as sweet as it gets. Not a pogo stick - firm enough to crank away on, but has just enough travel to make it stick to the trail.

Truth is not doubt a nice bike, but at that price range a nice custom ti frame would be my pick.
