lRalphl,

Which frame reminds you of the Maestro?  098?  356?   I'd love to get a frame that has VPP/DW-LINK.

Thanks for your help.

Yes, that would be great.  I would love to see CS-098.  I also found another frame (labelled "ALL MOUNTAIN") - FM 356.  I'm wondering if anyone has experience with this:

So, if one were to build an all mountain full suspension bike (looking for max front travel), what frame would you recommend?

Thanks..

Newbie here, so please excuse my ignorance.  Just learning...

I am looking to build a chiner 29er trail or all mountain bike, theoretically with 140mm travel on the front fork.  Problem is I can't find the right full suspension frame that will accommodate that amount of travel.  Looked at various 036 models, but the specs are 100 or 120mm for front travel.

Any ideas on how to proceed with this?  All suggestions and smirks welcomed!
