For me - it is a Rocky Mountain Vertex TO - fantastic paint job and climbs like a mountain goat
Alternative would be a Merlin XLM I guess for Titanium option...

I have been considering:
Specialised S-works
Kona Kula Primo
Klein Attitude
What are peoples thoughts?
or should I save up and buy a full susser? (I have never ridden full sus)

I have a Voodoo Sobo scandium hardtail with a Manitou R7 fork. The bike rails tight single track and is a little flexy, so it has a sweet, smooth ride. The flex also helps cornering because it keeps the rear wheel in contact with the ground and absorbs the little bumps. The Sobo has similar geometry to the Kona Kula Primo (both designed by Joe Murray). The only problem with Scandium is it dents easily, mine has already got a few dents just from normal use, one on the downtube where a rock was flung up by the front wheel. If I could afford it I would get a Ti hardtail such as a Lightspeed, Merlin or Seven cycles, they also have similar geometry and dimension to the Voodoo, they weigh almost the same but Ti is tougher than Scandium, and should last many years, where a scandium frame has a limited lifespan.davebee said:I am looking for a new hardtail frame for when funds allow.
