If you want the RM frame alone, I will gladly break it down. I have a brand new heckler frame I was gonna swap the parts to anyway. (Yea Yea yea, I know, It's not a Faith :twofinger )

Can't remember if I have any other large AM frames that might be suitable but if I do I'll let you know.

Quick couple clips I recorded at Lake Cunningham tonight with my droid..

when seeking a new FR/DH frame i narrowed my top 3 choices to:

Cove STD
Banshee Scythe
Transition Blindside

i went with the banshee and couldn't be happier. i'm sure i'd love the other bikes too.. but man, this is like a super fun play bike with lots of suspension :)
awesome adjustability 7" or 8" in rear and freeride/downhill modes.. (i keep mine in 7" FR for 65 HA and lowest BB height)

plus the Banshee guys are super fuckin cool (keith & rob)

Im looking at:

Faith
Bullit (newer then that one I have and a large , mines a mid)
Scythe
Uzzi
Orangle AM160
 
Looks like im going to build up a new Bullit. I slapped my Talas on my current bullit and it was pretty damn fun , the frame just does not fit me for climbing. (med) Anyone ridden the new DHXAir? Looking to build it up light and I pref air shocks over coil. Heard mixed reviews about the older ones. I love the RP23s
 
I've ridden a large bullit for a good period of time with a dhxair. While it is light, i much prefer the feel of a coil. I think you might too.
 
I'd say it depends on what you weigh. The lighter you are (less shock air pressure), the more acceptable an air shock will be. The heavier you are (more shock air pressure), the worse it'll be. At my size, I can't get an air shock tuned anywhere near rideable on my Bullit. YMMV. Coils fo' life.

Woot mah frame arrived , tore it apart right away to drop off at the powder coater. (needs more silver , less fairy blue!) I had to get a shock with it so I got the DHXair to try out , 5.0 is on standby just in case. Also opted to get the floating brake kit. Can't wait to huck this thing, hopefully have it done by next weekend :ride
