If you dont ride street or dj's maybe get a small travel fully. 4by type of thing. You'd have to buy used, and it that isn't your thing. .243 is always a good choice, my favorite hard tail, and i've had a few.

i personally like the snipes frame and you might be able to actually come meet jeff here in Vancouver and take alook at a frame before you buy it. i dont know much about the transition though. BTW what fork and general setup were you thinking, 5" sc, 7" dc, 26"/24", 26"/26"?

go for the Trail-Or-Park, cro-mo is much more forgiving

Give Justin ( Knucklebone on the boards) a pm he bought a trail o park at the end of August and is super happy with it. He can give you the down low on Transition hardtails.
The service and bros at Transition have been great, I've ridden their frames for the last 2 years with no complaints or problems.

Even though I don't have mine yet, I'm gonna go ahead and pimp out the Banshee Scratch. 10 year warranty, 6.7lbs (0.8 lbs lighter than a .243), dialled angles, adjustable vertical dropouts, american BB shell and the fact that your bike won't be another .243 :rolleyes:

The guys at Banshee are great to deal with and STAND behind there products.

Have you ridden both Aluminum and Steel frames for an extended period of time?
