Dec 10, 2001 9:08 AM | | ...200# XC, light freeriding. The frame I'v decided on is an Ellsworth
Isis SL, 1350.00 shipped from Speedgoat. Read the reviews on this frame, foots the bill to the T. |
| Define light(lite) please.nm | fred³

Dec 10, 2001 11:32 AM | | I guess its all relative. :)

| *grin* Well then.... | fred³
Dec 10, 2001 11:44 AM | | that allows you a whole lot of options, but if you've been satisfied with Turner in the past then I'd stay with them. Other options are Titus, Santa Cruz, Orange(don't know if they make a sub 30lb. bike though)to name a few. I ride the Titus Locomoto and love it. Oh and don't forget Ellsworth.

| Look at the Hammerhead X...... | Markv
Dec 10, 2001 12:43 PM | | Photos in the "What Bike to Buy" section. The Intense Tracer is a great bike, but if you're looking for a quicker handling, better climbing frame you won't find a better bike than the X. Charles Coker is selling a a custom version of a Titus Racer X that's built for a 100mm fork. Looks like a sweet bike and should be in your price range! |
| new Ventana Pantera? or wait for a SC Blur? nm | Hank
