I currently have a hardtail and have been looking around for a while to upgrade to a FS bike. Im tryin to keep it below $400 and have found these two frames which both have around a 4/5 on the reviews but i cant decide. I plan on using it as an aggressive XC/Light All-mountain bike.
The first frame is a Sette Riddick:

Second is a Motobecane Fantom:

There is also a Santa Cruz Bullit available locally under $400 but that seems as though it might be a bit heavy around 40lbs. and doesnt have lock-out on the 5th element shock. niether are reasons im ruling it out, just 2 things im considering in the process.
Any suggestions/advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advanced!
