I know they're definitely being snatched up by a lot of people. I myself love the look and feel of a nice low slung frame. What's your guys opinions on them? Any specific ones you like the best?

Supply and Demand. Companys make what people want.

Whoa, I didn't think there was any frame out there as low as a Killorado but it looks like the Colony Hell Stallion is almost the same.

This is just what the market wants right now. Some people just like the feel, personally I don't, but there are other frames out there for me. Its all about whats "in".

X2. I thought the killorado was the most low slung out of all the companies i knew of, but colony has an almost identical looking frame as the black eye.

Weighs less to have a lower slung frame and keep a longer post than to have a higher frame, and a slammed post.

I see you and Lettus hating on low frames left and right...what exactly is wrong with them, other than being trendy?

I don't see what people have against the low-slung frames. The arguments seem to centre around it looking dumb...if you're dragging your feet on the ground to come to a stop, think that looks cool?

Oh yeah and the weakness. Meh.
