hi folks,
basicaly i was hoping someone could recomened a short travel XC/ trail suspension frame for me. my main criteia is that it has smooth plain tubes. i like this pace 405
but the swing arm is a bit heavy looking
im also fond of this lynskey suser
but what is with that twisty down tube? also titaium is too expensive.
know of any simelar frames out there; simple, elegant, utilitarian.?
gratly appreciate any knowledge you might pass my way
thanks

Ibis Mojo, Sl-R if you want a more XC based ride or the HD-R or HD140 if you want something a little burlier. Great bikes, sizing comes up a little on the small side imo but still both very good bikes.
