Getting a frame on Friday so looking for some build inspiration - WHY?
Bumpy
Since you asked.
You can have an AL -

Which reminds me, I still got a horrible white saddle to put on the MaxMax to add to the brightness 😆
That's quite the collection, I'm guessing you like them! What sort of riding do you use each of them for?
Can I join in with my squishy please? I think it needs a hardtail to keep it company 😉

More than welcome Mama, love the BB pivot on them!
I'm planning on a set, got the all day bike in the Meta 5 but dreaming of a Supreme.
Planning on building the Absolut up for some DH/jumping to get me ready for that, by the time I've got the cash for it I reckon I'll be able to do it justice 😆
Yeah, with that BB pivot I'm sure it'd be rude not to singlespeed it at some time . . . but I'm in no hurry 😉
Make sure you post pics once your Absolut is up and running.
The AL gets used for pretty much everything, as it's my main bike. It's my third one, as the first two suffered from seatpost length issues. I'm 6'4", so am pushing the seatpost length, but had the current frame for over 3 1/2yrs without any issues now I use a supershim (aka the bottom the part of a scoper combined with a 400mm Thomson).
When I finally kill it, I've got my eyes on a Ramone to replace it, as that's the nearest equivalent of it now.
I got the CrMo cheap, and it occasionally seen some jumps, but it mainly got abused on my pump track. Not sure why, but I never really got on with it and sold it once I got the MaxMax.
The MaxMax was very much an impulse buy, and is my little play bike.
It gets used for jumps, and the occasional bit trail when I get the chance of a sneaky uplift or can be bothered pushing it up a hill.
It's built pretty light, and with the bog standard semi-slicks, goes like a rocket, and makes me grin everytime I'm on it. It's also the most 'pimp' bike I've got, as I went for looks over function, which is why I still endure the short falls of putting bmx microdrive cranks on a mtb!

No you dont want to put that 'Superteam' saddle on it
Will completely ruin the bike
You need to give that to me 😀
here is mine, and it's up for sale if anybody is interested
