  1. 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.

    Does anyone know anything about this frame? Im trying to find a decent frame
    to start with my bike build, something around $1000. Anyone have any other
    recommendations?
