I've been loving my Banshee Scythe for 4 SEASONS! The duability speaks for itself, it's been ultra low maintainance, it pedals well for a bike of it's type (and is a reasonable weight) adjustable geometry makes it versatile and it kills it on the way down. It's a 12x150mm rear end.

It looks solid,but i spent a big amount of cash the last months to upgrade my giant reign with freeride components(everything has been changed to saint series/55marzocchi fork/new wheelset/i changed even the rp2 with a vivid r2c)and i would like to make the swap to a true freeride frame with zero extra cost so i am looking for a frame with 135x10 rear end,73mm bb because i am always worry that my frame will not handle the abuse...

Why didn't you upgrade your frame first. If there was compatibility issues, then upgrade parts as needed.
For the scythe, all you would need is the rear wheel. Along with rearranging you BB spacers, if you have a external BB.

Because i like my frame,I just dont want to hurt it because i never thought when i bought it(4 months ago)that i will get familiar with big jumps and drops so soon...i changed my rp2 to coil to get 170mm of travel but still the frame is sold by giant as all mountain so i dont know if it can handle freeriding...i wish it could!
