Hi

Im looking into getting a new frame. A hardtail frame. I want something very strong, but quite
light, light enough to ride uphill but strong enough to handle some big drops. Also to do some
dirt jumping and street. Basically a very good all round frame.

Whats everyones ideas on this?

Jamis above mentioned will not responsibly handle big drops or DJ.... will not! it is light tho
thats why its labelled as a all mountain ie. trailbike hardtail.

for something drop and DJ proof and yet decently light while still being strong .. go with a (as
carla menttioned) planet X, or and Evil Imperial (which i can supply you with) there are also a few
ON ONE frames and .243 Racing frames that would do that job well for you.

thanks dave contact me if you're interested in an Evil frame (daadnum"nospam"@autobahn.mb.ca)

Santa cruz Chameleon - its not heavy, it will take a lot, has low stand over, good quality all
over and the frame doubles as both a single speed and a regular frame for gears. Only drawback it
needs a long seatpost. Only weakpoint seems to be one must make sure the seatpost reaches below
the top tube.

Get a NORCO. I've had mine for 5 years. Tough as nails IMO.------Dave

Yup- Chameleon is the bike you are describing. Pick up a Thomson 410mm seatpost and you will have
plentyof tube left over. I weigh 200 and have spent the last 6 months abusing one of these and it
still looks new. I hit DJ, 6' drops, and downhill with it regularly- the beautiful thing is I can
turn right around and climb straight back up thehill with no problems. Make sure you get a through-
axle fork if you want to hit it hard, though...check out revolutionfreeride.com and look in the bike
review archive- lots fo good information there.
