Plenty to look at - just have a look around a few websites and see what you like
But the Identiti frames are worth a look, the Last Rafnix, Cove Sanchez, Da Bomb frames, Atomlab Trailpimp, Fire Eye Shortfuse --> most of those are just from looking at the frames on CRC, so plenty of choice
EDIT: Static Evil Twin and Revell frames are also worth taking a look at, but that depends on whether or not you want to run gears

i was looking at the Identiti Krisis but cant find any reviews, would this suite my needs?0
-
or a flow moe or flow drift? any good?0

The Flows look good, but I recall someone on this forum saying something about them bending, which obviously isn't very good.
The Krisis is a race bike, you would probably do better getting something like the 666x or s if you wanted an Identiti

As above. i wouldn't reccommend the krisis as it is designed as a race bike.

Something round here tastes bad. Could be plain old bad taste.

AHH! well bending isnt good! hmmmm quote "the drift is light enough to race and tough enough to withstand the sort of punishment that Rob Newman and Rob Bowen dish out everytime they ride" they must not ride very hard. o man i thought i was onto a winner then! lol
i like the 666x0 -
I might be wrong about the Flow, but I think ELmo said something about how they would be good if they didn't bend...
The 666x is nice, designed to be compatible with 24s as well IIRC

yeah it can take 24s, i think i will probably go with the 666x unless someone can think of anything else?
thanks alot guys0 -
Santa Cruz Chameleon or similar ?Show me your green bits i might buy them !0
-
this years (07) santa cruz is too expensive im probably gong to go with the 666x0

Just have a look on places like Evans, Leisurelakes, Wiggle, CRC etc and see what you like
I think I'm right in saying Evans have the Kona Cowan frame for œ25- atm?

I spotted this on ebay yesterday and it didn't sell, i reckon you could make the guy a very low offer and get it. Its an old frame but from what i remember had very good reviews. And for the money you have you could get something else too.
