Witkop Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Which would be the best steel frame Mtb to buy?CoticRagleyOn-oneothers
DR ◣◢ Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Do you want a 26er or 29er 29er I can only have good things to say about the Singular Swift.26er I have no idea Cotic Soda is Titanium btw.
Showtime Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 I really like the look of the Momsen STR29 frame. The sliding rear dropouts and 44mm headtube are very neat. No idea about ride quality though compared to others.

Hairy Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 Value for money the On One is an exceptional buy and I have owned both the 26'er and 29'er Inbreds .... they are both just great bikes. I have always been keen on a 456 though and would love to give on a spin as the closest I have come is a ride through the city on a 456 summer season .... Chro Mo 1
gummibear Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 You left out BAUM,they make some of the prettiest steel bikes.
Ryanpmb Posted September 21, 2012 Posted September 21, 2012 What are you wanting to do on this bike? You've mentioned frames that have different intended purposes. For example the Cotic BFe is a 26" frame that is generally run with bigger travel forks as a fun to hardcore trail bike whereas the Soda is a Ti frame that is intended for 100 -120mm forks as a XC/ trail bike. The Soul will be the steel version of this frame and the Solaris the 29" 100 - 120mm fork travel frame... Although you've mentioned a few steel frames, some of them have specific purposes and so their geometry will be designed according to this. Decide what you want the frame for, then compare the different offerings from the manufacturers based on this. Hairy and Percyzn 2
