i've got hardtail based on torpado frame. after bike FIT it looks like i can easilly take a bigger frame, so i am looking for a replacement with next features:
size XL
reach not less than 460mm (90% percents of frames fails to reach it)
head angle less than 69 (up to 69.5 if everything else is superb)
seatpost 31.6 (i will use dropper)
bottom bracket NOT BSA (pf bb92 or pf30, no matter)
at first sight airwolf was a great frame with great price, but from what i saw and know their frames are manufactured quite poorly (one frame was inspected by me, and i dont like how headset and seattube are manufactured), and their warranty works not as good as stated (long replacement delivery time, 100$ shipping charge)
336 is a superb freme except 27.2 seatpost. i even was ready to buy fox transfer sl (400$), but longest dropper thay have in 27.2 is 380mm, and its just not long enough for me
162 is a trade off, when i get a bit steper ha, and shorter reach, but could use 31.6 droppers. looked like a great compromise, until i found out price
also WorksWell has afull suspension frame, which looks great on paper, and my plan was to get a hardtail frame, as it is cheaper, and then order suspension frame
