hi, I'm currently riding a kona kikapu delux. its a full sus xc bike, and I'm looking at going to a HT ride so that I can mix in some races with the trail riding I do around the south coast and wales.

I'm looking at 3 frames, and for now I'm going to swap over the bits from my kona until I can complete the build.

I'm looking at a maxlight xc-2, giant xtc, 06 marin indian fire trail.

I could always but a lockout fox float for my kona, but i could get a ht frame for the price. plus i'm 6'4" and my kona is only 18.5". I like ot ride small on trails but i think racing it could cause a problem.

please help, any advice would be great,

Cheers, andy

    All good frames, matter of taste me thinks... I have a Marin Eldridge Grade (same frame as Indian Fire Trail, if the 07 version) and am well chuffed with it. Light, stiff and good lookin' [:D]
