Date Reviewed: July 28, 2000 | | Favorite Trail: | Fast & hairy trials all over ON | | Duration Product Used: | 2 Years | | Strengths: | Strength, rigidity, geometry built to carve trails. | | Weaknesses: | None so far. | | Bike Setup: | 1998 Porter Loki frame, full XTR groupo, Mavic 517 Ceramic rims with DT black double butted, Easton CT2, etc. | | Bottom Line: | This is my second race season with this baby, and I simply love it! It's been through many local races, O-Cups, 12 & 24 hour endurance races, plus hard core riding on an average of 3-4 big rides a week. This frame is still rock solid!
I love it's handling in tight & hairy sections. It feels very light & fast. Everyone who tried it gave me that same comment.
I also enjoy the attention it gets. Everyone asks me about it, where it's built, who made it...
I strongly suggest this framset. And to John Porter who builds these frames, Cheers! You've made me one hell of a happy biker :-) | Value Rating: Overall Rating: |

This frame is well made, it`s also very stiff. If you are a pro racer or a week-end warrior, you will love the quality of this Hand made custom-frame. I especially like the fast cornering of this very light frame and the possibility to decide the colors of the frame. | | Overall Rating: |

Coming up with the perfect design is a progressive task at porter frames. Testing, gathering rider`s input and refining are all part of the overall process
Nothing is left to chance as only top grade aluminium is used to create every hand-crafted machine.
Likewise, every components is carefully selected to complement a particular frame`s design, geometry and value. The result is a small yet impressive line of race-ready bicycles sporting names
such as ``THOR`` and ``LOKI`` which include both front and dual suspension models. Other technical advantages such as varying geometry according to frame size and CAD design make every Porter frame unique
and a fresh alternative to the comon two wheel machine.
For the discerning cyclist to be sure, Porter frames are ready to roll with a price tag starting at around 900 dollars USD.
