29er / Top picks for relaxed geometry lightweight hardtail Trail
« on: July 12, 2022, 02:41:53 PM »
Its been a couple of years since I built my last "Chinertown" carbon bike,  have not kept up with recent frames and looking for suggestions of frames to consider.

I am looking to build a pair of hardtails (for my wife and I) for trail/all mountain riding. Wishlist includes lightweight frame (<1200g), relaxed geometry (66-68 degrees) and able to run 2.4 to 2.6" tires (29 or 27.5) 120mm front shock.

What should I take a look at?

Thanks

29er / Recommendations for lightweight Full suspension XC/Trail frame
« on: May 07, 2021, 05:34:22 PM »
Starting in on my 4th carbon frame bike build, but its been a couple of years since my last build and have not been following what new and getting good reviews.

I am looking for a lightweight (<2000g) full suspension bike for trail riding. Don't need a lot of travel, 120mm front fork is what I had in mind.  Slacker geometry would be preferable.

Bottom line I am looking to build a forgiving, all round bike, that comes in a couple lbs. lighter than my current full suspension bike (Specialized S-Works Stumpjumper). 29 or 27.5,  standard or plus frames,  all okay.

Would appreciate suggestions regarding frames I should consider.

29er / Feedback on the Velobuild VB-M-095??
« on: February 20, 2018, 07:50:50 PM »
Have recently built up two bikes; one using a Workswell 093 road frame and the other Velobuild 27.5+ MTB fat tire frame.

Looking to build another hard tail MTB, and looking for the light frame, slacker geometry and can accommodate >2.3" tires. Considering the Velobuild 095, and looking for any feedback others might have had with this frame or suggestion for another.

Weight is a big consideration as I am shooting for <20lb build.
