lighter than you'd think, longish top tube, can be run as a trail bike (i had an early one), stiff rear but fine with a long seatpost

Steel, ally or Easton Rad version?

I Had the RAD version - long top tube and longish chain stays. Again as above 6'2" so fine for the gangly. Stiff a **** and strong as anything.

Used mine for everything for several years and is one of the frames i will never sell. Have dropped stair gaps and done xc rides on the same build.

Only thing i found was long stays meant it was harder to manual - but then im crap at manualling.

If Easton RAD it'll be box section stays and square to round section main (top and down tubes)
