[#4557159]

Hi all,

I currently ride a converted P1 jump bike, with 130mm bombers, 8speed etc set up for downwhill/singletrack and dj.

Everythings a high spec but I think its time to replace the frame for something as solid and high spec as the rest of the bike.

Could you throw me some suggestions. I absolutly love the cotic bfe in orange!

I also dont mind going second hand at all.

thanks

The only thing I would say about the Snap is that it is quite focussed - long, low and very very stiff. Check the geometry before you buy it's quite unique.

cheers rocketman, there are a few reviews online, need to do some more digging and find out. It made for 4x, to be quick and a couple for reviews do mention how un responsive it is.....I ride most things on my P1 (including the black run at Aston hill), so im looking for a real do it all bike which just feels amazing to ride,

however, that snap looks the nuts
