I've been looking to get a new AM hardtail frame and having looked at lots of options (and going against popular opinion) I have discounted a steel frame in favour of lighter aluminum based frame...so was quite taken by the idea of getting a Santa Cruz chamelon, but while looking for a good deal i spotted two frames by Kinesis (Pha5e and XC120) which are very comptitively priced (£250ish) and look great...any body got any expereince or thoughts on these..

Personally I would choose the Pha5e out of those too. Allows to to run a bigger fork, and very one knows bigger is better.

I bought a Pha5e last year, it's very good and fun to ride
