Looking for some feedback. I may have reached the point where I need to get myself a new bike and finally retire my Marin rigid. I fancy building one, probably using a donor bike for most parts and buying frame/forks and brakes.
Looking at the options, Orange cost too much, Cotic looks over the top for what I want, I don't like the On One frames and again they seem ott so the Maxlight seem to fit and I like the look of them. A simple XC hardtail capable of doing reds is all I need and not something that will take 160 forks for big hits, I doubt that I need that.
I can't seem to find much in the way of reviews for the newer frames i.e. the XC3 and only a few for older frames, so views/feedback/pics most welcome.
