Thinking of changing my frame and building up a lighter trail bike, present bike santaCruz Butcher 30.4lbs , just had to sell my 29er , I had the best of both long travel 26″ bike and a short travel 25lb 29er, but now its going to have to be one bike only,
type of riding I do is trail centers , xc natural stuff, and the odd xc race, the last one I did on the Butcher 😀 like to have fun on my bike and pop off and over stuff, nothing huge I’m not that good 😳
my list of frames looked at so far,
Blur TRc , Yeti SB66c, and the new 2013 Trek EX looks good, want something thats light ish and climbs well , with low BB , and around 67 ish head angle, and around 26-28lb,
Have also looked at the 29er s Tallboy Lt and the Yeti SB95 both seem to be very capable , any other suggestions would be great,
need my friend Rorschach to keep me on track 😀
