hey all.
Im looking to retire the raceline XC frame, and buy a new one. At this stage i need some suggestions for a frame that is similar to the planet x jackflash. Its an all rounder frame and i know several people on this board ride and love them.
i DONT want a jump frame. idealy a street orientated frame, ie short chain stays, sharp angles etc. if anyone can suggest a few frames that fit this area that would be great, if there are already topics on this,can you please direct me to them.
as i know you'll undoubtably ask, i ride mainly street. i do everything on my bike at the moment, including trials, commuting, downhill and a little XC but i do focus on street riding. Im looking to swap my parts over then upgrade as nessarcary (sp). i only have a short travel fork, the RS duke XC u-turn, so max of 108mm travel. this can make a difference regarding the headtube angle.
current frames ive been looking at (early stages):
Planet X new Jackflash....very $$$
Planet X bommer....same as jack flash but steel
thanks for your time and help
