Good frame brands I've owned:
Fit
WeThePeople
FBM
Fly (diablo, was heavy as shit but still good)

I rode dirt mostly, TRAILS! There is nothing like flowing through a massive 8-10 pack!!! I miss the shit out of it!!!

I actually picked up a Dillinger(Soul Cycles) MtnBike frame to build up... Its going to take me a while, rims, disc breaks and front susp.Forks cost the most...But can't wait to get it built up.

Or build it? obviously you learn more when you build it but whats gonna be best as of right no? And yeah the whole freestyle mountain biking is getting bigger, ive thought about it but i just love street sooo much more. :thumb:

More than likely won't happen though.

Exactly. And the parts you pick will better suit your preferences/style as well.
