Can anyone recommend me a frame..not a complete bike. Looking to replace my current GT i-drive with something a bit beefier maybe, I'm not looking to go above 4 inches of travel at the back but want a full susser still for this bike. Looking for something that will be light enough for a quick couple of hours but not any all day enduros but more importantly will handle alright if it's thrashed around a bit.

Most of the market in bikes for this seems to be light weight all day xc'ers. Thoughts so far are drifting towards Nicolai Helius.

    Tis a slopestyler though.

    EDIT: Sorry its a complete bike although I'm sure it used to say frame only option somewhere...

    Sometimes it overheats. You have to make sure it's in a ventilated place all the time.

    Not bothered about the slopestyleishness although maybe a little too much travel.

    Just seen the transition double though mmmm maybe a new candidate.

    Santa Cruz Blur 4X sounds about perfect. 115mm travel at the rear and its a bit of a trail demon. I would suggest that the Helius range aren't quite as burly as you think. The Helius FR certainly is but the CC certainly isn't!
