Anyine ride a Chromag

Am going to be replacing my frame in the coming year. Am looking at a few options. I ride hard tail now because am living in TO temporarily. And want to stick with a hardtail as it is much more versatile for me.

Wondering if any one has used either the Samurai or TRL frames?

I know they are steel though I prefer the feel of steel.

Also what are the .243 frames like? Any good for all around abuse?

i dont ride either of those chromag frames, but i ride a gypsy. it is very very well thought out and made. im very happy with my frame, and i have ridden a trl breifly. these frames are much nicer then the .243's in my opinion as they are lighter and not overly beafy like the .243's. also a color/sticker selection is nice!

arent u sponsored by chromag?

and yes i have ehard nothing but good things about them

I ride a Chromag TRL, small. Bitchin bike that's built in BC. I really like the geometry. Probably little more slack with a 6" fork than the .243, but i dunno. Haven't ridden a .243 in a while. Niiice paint. Hey remember, steel is smooth.
