#!markdown very nice frame and great article would consider this frame very durable and a "keeper" in contrast I am riding a 'big brand' carbon fibre 29'er hardtail and am on my 3rd warranty frame in 2 years of mild, UK cross country riding. Frame weighs 1.18kg for 17″ so that might have something to do with that problem. Tempted to go back to steel, once my 3rd frame eventually cracks and I get a brand new, boxed frame under warranty, which can be easily sold
