thinking about building one of these as a rigid grinder for longer rides....but I need some more reviews/ info.

at 1/3 the price of an imported steel frame..are they worth it? t

Are momsen updating these frames for 2019 and should i wait?

 

Also...​...gauging size on momsen's bikes' is like trying to figure out the meaning of life while calculating the mass of the sun using an abacus and smarties. 

 

any input would be nice..especially from the guys who have these

My mate is riding the previous version. Unbreakable.

If I didn't have an on-one already, I would be on these quicker than a fat kid on free fudge.

 

Still have a thought in the back of my head to build a HT enduro bike with one of these frames.

cool...whats the clearance like for tires? i see 29" 2.4 seems to fit fine... any chance of fitting plus sized 650b's in there? would just like to know what the options are...especially as I am looking at a rigid bike so the little extra tire volume would be nice. Not looking to spend crazy money on a susp fork that probably wont be used that much for what this will be used.

I still need to make an arrangement at some point to meet up with you to swing a leg over that bike if you don't mind .... dying to see how it feels geo wise with a 140mm fork.

Having evil thoughts of using my 650b wheels with the 160mm DVO on my STR frame
