First of all, i was thinking on only swapping parts i have on my porking onto the Knolly frame, making someking of freeride bike that could handle whati throw at it.
This is my Pornking:

I jsut don't feel that superco. How does a gear linkage like that feel? it seems pretty much DH Racing, I'd like something more Freeride...

What's your opinion?

Absolutely amazing. Its got pretty aggressive geo, def not a huck machine, but still would take a TON to break it.

Both bikes are in the category of absurdly heavy bikes. Look at the weight. Its something like 6 KILOS for the frame only! You might not think itll make a difference, but the days of building 50lb bikes have come and gone, I suggest you follow the trend of lighter weight for the sake of the people who have to wait for you to lug that bike up the hill.

No way... I just built up a 2003 Banshee Scream lol 47.8 lbs, I guess I'm in the clear!

That Superco looks, Amazing!

DunCons are cool, but I've only seen a couple good hardtails from them. Never a full suspension with a large amount of travel.

I'm suprised nobody has mentioned Karpiel...
