good dj/street frame and fork combo?

[mbking]

Right now I am riding a giant ACid with a pslyo thats usually at 3 or 4 inches. I am looking for a new frame fork combo for next season. I have been looking at the pike or sherman breakout,they both look like sick forks. For frame I haven't a clue on want to buy. I wan't to stick with hardtails becuase fully's are useless around here. But I will be ventureing out to the moutain once in a while, so i am keeping that in mind too.

so what do you think will be a good frame purchase?

Thanks.

Well for next year, or as a winter project bike, I am considering either a .243 4130 SL, or a Santa Cruz Jackal. I know that they are 2 different bikes, but those are my choices right now. There are a ton of frames out there, BlkMrkt, Addict, .243, Santa Cruz, Cannondale, Giant... and on and on and on...

As for a fork, well the Pike seems to be more of an "all mountain" fork, a few folks here have them, so I am sure that they would give better info on it, my personal fave are the Sherman's, and that is what I'll try to find when the time comes. Adam45 has a Pike and loves it, I have a Breakout 6" on my Devinci, and I love that, Elaine's bike has a Psylo, and it seems to be a good fork too. Soooooooooooooooooooo.... I give up.:P

haha yah I am pretty pleased with my fork now but i would like to upgrade a bit. And a .243 frame would be nice :) or DMR trailstar would fit well too.
