Recently sold my Blur frameset because I felt the stays were a little too delicate for the kind of terrain it was capable of taking on geo wise and wasn't into breaking another frame.
Also putting a 120 fork on it killed some of the snap that was so much a part of this kind of bike IMHO. It really was designed as a race bike not a DC as they have stated.
The steel frame I've got now (Cotic FlareMax) weighs 2 pounds more but the ride quality is worth it as well as the peace of mind.
