Do you mean the Attack Trail? I built up this frame several monthes
ago. For me it is a Cross Country bike because I weigh 220. One thing
I find different from my old Marin Mt. Vision is the new setup on this
bike is very bouncing when standing on the pedals, but then it is a
four bar suspension and that problem is solved with lockouts my fork
and rear suspension.
The frame has definitely increased my speeds going downhill on the
rough stuff, but I feel I owe a lot of the credit for this to my
Marzocchi Z 1 Freeride fork.
So far I really like the frame, but wish they had used bearings
instead of bushings in the rear suspension mounts. I was also
surprised when I found out I could only mount disc brakes on the
frame.
I also, ended up with a frame an inch larger than I ordered, but you
know what, it was a blessing in disguise because now I am getting over
some bigger logs that were problem for me before. There is a
noticeable feeling of being top heavy at times, but it seems to
confine itself to be felt and not so much of a performance issue.
Maybe it would be more of an issue if I was into some radical
cornering.

to start with my bike build, something around $1000. Anyone have any other
recommendations?
