Bike companies are making some pretty heavy carbon frames these days and some companies are making some fairly light metal frames. If you pick a well engineered metal frame you can get a very competitive weight for the final build.
I just recently sold my 9yr old 26er \[SC Nomad\]. I had a lot of fun on that bike! If I hadn't grown used to longer Reach designs I'd still be riding it, but it was too hard to adapt going back and forth.
