I like aluminum. It's a lot lighter. District is nice. The yeti DJ is my dream HT though. That or the Ellsworth specialist.

Aluminium is too ridgid to use on a decent hardtail for DH/FR 4130 Chromoly steel is where it's at, its such a plush supple metal... and it wont snap on you..
my frame suggestion... .243 FR frame....bomb proof...Yet heavy...7Lbs

Maybe something from Polish company NS Bikes. www.nsbikes.com
Look at NS Suburban frame. Weight 2.45 kg, or NS Bitch frame. Very good and tough framesSmile

Properly made boxed aluminum frames are still uber strong. What frames have you ridden, anyways?

Yours was a P series Spec. 'Nuff said.

Why do you all think 4X racers use aluminum? It's not like those bikes don't see hell.
