Thanks for the tips.  I'll look in to Waltly. 

Hi all,
  I've spent hours on here looking through reviews and checking out different sites.  I'm stuck and could use some outside help.  I currently have a Salsa Warbird (size 56) but the drop bars just aren't working for me.  I'm going to sell it to fund a build.  I have a really nice set of wheels off the Warbird that I would like to use, DT 240 hubs on Lightbicycle carbon rims (142 spacing in back, 12x100 thru front).  I'm looking for an xc race style bike with a rigid fork that would fit the wheels.  I need the frame to accept at least a 36 tooth front ring.  Can anyone offer an help or recomendations for me?  I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks. 

THanks.  I have no idea.  The frame and fork were really inexpensive on ebay and the size seemed right.  I really like the fit and finish of it.  The headset is causing me issues.  It's quit stiff when being turned and I can't figure out how to correct it.  About to take it to the bike shop to see what they can do.  I like it enough to where I might get another one.  I'm on the hunt though to find one that will accept a 2.4 Ardent in the back, or the larger Ikon.

I bought this one and I really like it (I just got it built up and will post pics soon) but I am not sure what "model" it is.  Can anyone help me identifiy it?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/221526014094?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

I've got Stan crests now, but was looking at getting some wider carbon rims.  So the wider rim gives it a wider profile, does that mean less clearance?  Sorry for my ignorance. This is a great site. The mtbr thread is way overwhelming and loads way too slow.

I was wondering what frame would accept a 2.4 Ardent in the back?  Anyone know?
Thanks!
