Worst i've ever ridden was an Iron Horse sunday team, thing was terrible, until you aimed it down a hill.
Best i've ridden was my giant VT, pedaled like a hard tail, only an xc frame really though, hence i snapped the living shit out of it.

my current DH bike is a commencal dh supreme its the first frame i have bought brand new and i'm loving it ! and if you've not tried the new conti tyres then you've not ridden with grippy tyres ! just make sure you get the black chilli compound, oh and they out last maxxis super tackys 2 to 1 ! also
before this one i've had loads of them heres a few of them
and thats just the dh bikes and i know i've missed a few out too I'm currently saving for a santa cruz v10 or a morewood makulu

My old hardtail, built this up myself back in '94. Used to have Cook Bros cranks but some pikey cunt pinched them from outside Sainsburys 
Really large frame by modern standards at 19.5" and a shallow head angle which makes the forks look bent
If anybody know somebody that can sort the seals in my MAG 21's I would be really chuffed as they don't keep the air in them any more

TF tuned MIGHT be able to. or possibly a guy called Box at Bad Ass Bikes over bristol way.
Ive not ridden for quite a while (about 2 months i'd say) and for some reason
I've entered a DH race at the end of Jan... LOL could be interesting!

phil2002 the ns frames are brilliant i've got the same frame just older than yours as i wanted to build a freeride/dh sort of hardtail and you won't be dissapointed if you can deal with the weight over a ally frame

The weight shouldn't be too much of an issue. Took me over a week of internet and shop searching to decide on it. got a good deal on it too as it's a 2011 bike.

I just bought this bike,
http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/M...?ModelID=57169
although I got it for £689. its nothing as hardcore as a DH bike but it will serve me well for what I need it for
