I'm a bit slow perhaps ADHD. MB1 . Bridgestone? The top end model I lusted over was the MB zipp. Or MB 0. It was sold out so I got the MB 2 . Each tube was listed such as Tange ultralight and butting dimensions were also included. I miss my MB 2.
Oh yes a Fox 34 with an Avalanche upgrade. Avy makes mid stroke support if that's your desire. Coils in forks feel wonderful.!
A quick search on SC website. This frame is life time warranty. That puts a different spin on its value. Ride this frame for five years or longer. I would. It's a sound investment. Those are beefy sliding dropouts . I suspect they won't move from excessive pedal torque. Cromag has a slightly more affordable frame with tabs for chain guides . A feature I appreciate. But no sliding drop outs . This a compromise to switch wheel size and wheel base .
At 1300$ I would have to consider the many local frame builders . Wild Wood for example. Probably 2000$ for a custom steel frame . Which makes this frame rather appealing.
