Hi, well just snapped my rip9 for the second time, this time its done for, looking at either hardtail or fs. needs to be strong as im a big dude 6ft4 17 stone and quite an aggresive rider, any ideas?

Cheers, Liam

Kona Honzo, 2Souls QH, Transition Transam 29, Chromag Rootdown or Surface.

They are all very to fairly burly!

6'7" here and one of my bikes is a Kona Honzo which is a pretty strong beast (at 7lbs for a 20L" steel it should be!).

Fun bike and handles well.

How about not being so hard on the bike? I hear there's a new brand out of the US called Wolverine making frames out of adamantium.
