alright people i'm looking for a very AGGRESSIVE ALL MOUNTAIN frame to build up ...im really in love with the iron horse 6.4 but the chances of them coming up for the right price is slim knowing the compAny went belly up.. so please post a couple pics and names of bikes and tell me why you think theyd be good for me ..or why you love them ...(i do a lot of single track and a lot of uphill and i also do some light freeriding .and downhill.)

i need something that can pump uphills and rip downhills ..while holding its own in small to medium jumps and drops...HELP ME THANKS ...

I don't have any photos, but I rip my Specialized enduro pretty hard. Jumps, drops, and everything in between. It pedals uphill real nice and then bombs down. If you are buying just a frame the s-works version is carbon and super pimp with the Cane Creek Double Barrel Air.

The Santa Cruz Nomad looks really nice as well. I would get it with the Float X since the float CTD kinda suucks!!! It looks like a really nice bike and if you go for aluminum instead of carbon it will be a little cheaper.

The trek remedy and slash also are really nice,

There are four to get you started with.

Check out the Rocky Mountain Slayer 70. Its an awesome ride that climbs really well for a bike with that much travel. A tad too much bike for me, but it sounds like it would be an ideal one for you. The Yet SB66 is a nice option as well. To think of it..there are lots of them out there, including the Nomad that was mentioned above.

As above, an SB66 or a Nomad in my opinion.

Here's my nomad
Santa Cruz Nomad C

Climbs like a mountain goat, is really chuckable and responsive, takes a hammering on the decents and loves it all day long.

Cant really say a bad thing about it.

Awesome looking bike mate!

You can't go wrong with a Nomad, SB66 or a Trek Slash.

Isn't the SX Trail more FR than AM? If you're ok with how it climbs then fine.

A vote for the Enduro!

Mine is build up on 140mm Pikes currently, slightly lower travel than what it should have on the front but now it climbs like a demon and comes down even better!

If you want really aggressive, you could build an all mountain-stlye NS Soda. The nice part is that you wouldn't have to worry about taking it to shuttled/lift access stuff now and then if you gave it a reasonable wheelset. Even better if you could afford x01.

Also @jamesk656, that's a beautiful bike, love seeing anything with 140mm or less up front getting sent!

another vote for the Rocky mountain slayer 70.. a buddy just bought one and it is awesome! perfect for what you're looking to do..

or the 13' Transition covert 26" i bought one and i love it. i have the rockshox lyrik rc2l on the front and it's great for dropping down to 130mm travel and the floodgate feature for climbing. and it shreds on the downs..

Beautifully. A little on the heavy side but burly as f***. It corners so well because all of the weight is centralized near the bb. Climbs are a little slow but you can climb and as for descents its really stable at high speeds for only having 6in of travel it feels bottomless. Ian hylands did a review on it late last year you should look it up on the homepage.

As for the knolly. Yeah they are pricey but
I've heard nothing but good things about
them. I rode a delirium and t was great
However i would want a lighter build so Im lookout into purchasing a chilcotin frame
