+1 for the inbred. Brilliant frame with some compliance. The frame looks quite simple but is built to last. I used mine for commuting through the forest and went down all the trails I took my PP Shan down and still got good times on the runs. Thing is now on one/Planet X don’t do the frames anymore and people are asking a lot for the frame. Worth grabbing a bargain on a full build. I wish I never sold it to be honest.
Other recommendations Genesis, Cotic etc. If you want an alloy frame, look for some of the originals like Yeti big top, Santa Cruz High Ball, and if you can find one Intense Hard Eddie.
