yeah, and it's cr-mo
and it's 71 degree HA would get twitchy
and it won't take discs
And I don't want to buy that specific fork. It is a beautiful bike though.

I'm just looking for something I can jump, freeride, and trials on. Something that has a rear weight bias like a DH bike. Hell, i just want a frame.

an aluminum frame that only weighs 5lbs + it has to be burly all under $150 ???...good luck sounds like a dream...I think you need to open up your specifications more...D

I need a DH bike.

It has to be light - under 10lbs. so I can race it - but burly so I can huck it.

It needs to be under $500.

:p

You're searching for the Holy Grail, dude. As D said, you want light and burly, you need to plunk down the $$.

Perhaps the Azonic steelhead, DS-1, Evolution? There are at least a dozen choices.
Kona Scab
RM flow
Yeti DJ
Mt Cycle Rumble
Kona Stuff, Roast , etc
SC chameleon and their other DJ specific frame

I have an Azonic DS-1..cheap and very versatile

Looks like I'm getting a PX bommer

The guy who would have hooked me up with a rumble is being a bitch.

Check the new Felt hardtails, the Jump Shot looks like a good candidate for love.

Hmm...yeah...They fufill all of your requirements, but the MSRP is $440. If you can get a team deal on one or used, you'd probably be good...
