Strengths: bought as frame only - Frank is the most amazing frame builder I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. he worked with me all through the buying process, the closest thing to custom besides measuring me up! custom paint, custom shock, this bike rocks.the new design has a massive headtube, and the whole frame is built around the word BEEFY. the rear dropouts areincredibly thick, and the whole dropout is replaceable for different tires. I cant wait to race it this summer. if i run you over, i probably didnt even realize it or feel it so i apologize in advance, ok? McDonalds - did somebody saaayyyyyyy "ten inches".....?Weaknesses: yo..you...you're joking ..... right?Bottom Line: Support Frank The Welder. You will have no problems with him or his frames. frank knows how to make a smooooooth DH rig, so dont fret when he charbroils you through that rock garden or loses some serious altitude on a drop that you were considering but knew would trash your bike. bottom line: buy the best, you will never regret it, just like you will never regret buying a Spooky, cuz it will be the last bike you buy. expensive, but so is a seperated headtube after that drop you saw frank do!
