I noticed a sign outside the bluepig today that said in association with mankin holes WWC' (spelling?)
Brant maybe you could name a femme-specific frame after this?

Hora, was there today too.
Blower - MemberRustynissanprairie,whats you're idea with this high front end malarky?
Im a lanky 6'5" er with long legs, I prefer high front ends even if it is against the general thought that low is best, my previous hardtails have always had long head tubes, big forks&2" rise bars, I tend to ride off the back with a light front end for manual rolling or clean 'bunny' hopping entire rock fields/sections at speed-it comes from years of street&race bmx and big DH bikes.
Cornering was never a problem with my old hardtails, Im a kinda bmx elbows out tucked down corner-er or sometimes stick my foot out and drift it in kinda style which isnt hampered by a high front end.
The trouble is that the new generation of hardtails have lower front ends for better cornering&climbing, my 20" 'pig has a higher BB and lower front end than my previous stuff, so I feel rotated forwards over the front. Its a great bike for 'hard XC'/riding but im not getting the love for DH stuff. I've gone 20mm shorter on the stem to 50mm. 20mm (IIRC) spacers under the stem and 2"rise bars. Im thinking a higher bar will put me back to where I was-ish.
