Its relative how much streety/trialsy you want it to be... there will always be a compromise, a streety frame has a longish chainstay and a BB drop while a trialsy frame has a short chainstay and a level or higher BB.

If you are going for a trialsy feel get a da bomb sputnik etc, if you want streety go for xlr8 or similar.

An XC frame is ok, but again analyze the geometry. XC frames usually have a longish chainstay and a BB drop.

Always remember that you are unique. Just like everybody else.

@wade please teach me the g-turn hehe

Alphabolt I think theres a NR tonight and the usual saturday ride with PinoyMTBiker guys around baywalk, Rizal park, Intramuros and the hostage shrine este Boni shrine.

@jervy my take on the xc frame is its more trials-ish than a dj frame but your right.
