Firstly I would like to introduce myself. I haven't ridden in a few years but have finally dug my demo 8 out of storage however i forgot just how big it was! I mainly used to ride DH with a buddy of mine but have now decided to opt for a much smaller/versatile bike mainly for freeride style riding and bike park sorta stuff. Im not too big 5'8 "
And 9.5st so figure something as big as my demo is pointless.

Long story short i am looking for a new ride! I see the trend seems to be leaning more towards lighter, shorter travel bikes for this sort of riding which suits me perfectly i guess :D
I'll probably be looking for a frame only and building it from there (im one of those people that likes to build from scratch)

Frames i have looked at so far include
NS Soda FR
Scott Voltage
transition Tr250

Any help with this is very much appreciated.
