Iwan Kemp Posted July 10, 2013 Share R27k.Frame only.A lot of money, but not bad for a high-end frame from a boutique brand. Also consider the soon to be launched Momsen Vipahttp://fcdn.mtbr.com/attachments/29er-bikes/778081d1362569070-momsen-vipa-post-1575-0-52041200-1362547538.jpg dee_biker 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe you'd look at a Trigon after considering a Santa Cruz?! My money for an XC/Trail bike would go towards one of Santa Cruz Tallboy, Ibis Ripley, Pyga OneTen29, Rocky Mountain Element or Niner RIP9.

Clinton H Posted July 10, 2013 Share Tall boy 2 is on it's way so you should be able to pick a frame up at a fair price ,retail is around 26k .(if you can find one ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dee_biker Posted July 10, 2013 Share It is important to decide / know what type of rider you are. The VIPA is a racing machine, 80mm travel etc, where as the Pyga is a Trail machine, with 120mm travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cant seem to find any place thats looks worth while.I suppose it depends what sort of riding you do - as per the other posts. Serious XC riding is what most of the Lefty type guys are interested in so you will be weight conscious and want as rigid a ride and frame as possib;e? Or are you more casual and more relaxed in your needs. That will determine frames. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
