Super Slack Seat-tube angle. Thats really my biggest issue. Keep all things the same, just give me a steeper seat-tube angle.

I am finding it hard to believe that NO ONE produces a bike like this. That Giant Trance is ideal, why did they have to change it and ruin it?

Do they still make those? Anyone know if Iron Horse makes anything worth looking at? their website is down but I saw a couple iron horse bikes that looked interesting.

I looked at the Intense, very sweet, except it says it an FRO model ie- disposable frame. I looked at the Geo for the double, says the seat-tube angle is 73.5? Thats so not right...

Does Brodie have any offerings that fit the bill?

I see a few that look interesting, their web site and bike denotatoins are kind of odd though.

The Brodie Dissident looks interesting. I had a Brodie Devo with a horst link suspension and the Dissident looks like the Nemesis except they went from horst link suspension on the Nemesis to single pivot on the Dissident. Anyone know why?


EDIT: it looks like in '07 they switched all the frames using that horst link to single pivot instead. Got tired of paying fees for using the design?

in 07 the company was sold, Paul Brodie (the founder who I know personally) sold it because he got bored with the company and wanted to start a motorcycle restoration company, he hand built the bikes up until about 06

Interesting. So I found this frame in my wonderings and it looks great-

http://www.ram-bikes.com/eng/nduro.html

Apparently it was built for use as a 4x bike, and in the description says its a cross between an XC bike and an all mountain- now we are getting somewhere.

Problem- its pretty abscure, at least on this side of the pond. I found one picture of one on pinkbike.

So I think I either want to go with a high mount single pivot, the Morewood Ndiza or a DW link/ Maestro style of suspension, which would be finding an old trance frame (what does giant currently use for 4x, a hardtale?)

Was also considering sending my shock off to push or getting the new new boost valve rp 23 and doing it that way.
