Question good midsized frame
I'm trying to sell my Planet X so I can get a bigger frame, caue I want to ride XC as well as my usual stuff. Something like 15 or 16" would be perfect.. steel or aluminum, though I'd like to try a steel one.
And not ugly!
I've looked around at some websites but it looks like most of the nice hardtail frames are really small, like my PX is.
I could just get a really long seat post, but it's more fun shopping for new frames!

Cove Stiffee FR, give it a shot, expect to pay high coin for the frame, but the feeling that that the frame has is incredible, the warrenty is decent, the colours look good. It climbs well and decends well. It comes in 15.5, 17.5, 19 and 21 inch sizes. With a long seat post a 15.5 would feel good for some long endurance type climbing/decending rides. Plus, the weight of cromo is not worth it, the weight of the cove, or other aluminum RAD style headtubes is excellent.

I would love to have one of the Coves... they look a lot like my old black Holeshot was. (I wish I got a 16" of that frame instead of 18" when I bought it!) How much does one of the coves frames run?

Those Azonic frames look pretty nice too...

Weights not a huge issue, I just want to ride to/from work to get into shape again. Cause right now I suck at being in shape, big time.

im super happy on my Azonic evoII...

16.5 is the prefect size for a well rounded HT frame...

agressive geomerty, but still easily climable/XCish...

heres a peek at mine built up if your interested...

More colors than you need, light and strong, and good warranty. Good Price too.

The Stiffee FR is definintely a "do everything" bike. Geometry is good for XC as well as DH riding. I had the 17.5 and it was perfect for me (6'2") for either type of riding. I miss my bike a lot...

The Evil Sovereign is looking pretty sexy, if you can handle the price tag.

That sovereign is supre nice, but wayyyy more than I can afford.
Haha I don't hate 243, actually I'd buy it off you for the right price, and powdercoat it a cool color.
I'm thinking about that Azonic frame though... hmmm

If you're selling a 15" .243 fire me a PM though

Definitely gotta work off the mass amounts of liqour I drank over winter/spring
