    I know this forum is usually for group rides but I would hate to miss the chance of getting a frame that is local, I am looking to spend around $300-400 on a new frame if anybody has suggestions on what to buy that would be great also thanks a lot.

    2 -> 3 reduced chain stay length, fixed strength problems with BB, smaller seat tube (diameter)

    3 -> 4 bigger disc tabs to hopefully allow rear disc usage, though I think it was a failure

    4 -> 5 back to the bigger diameter seat tube, maybe they reduced the weight?

    Those were the main differences I could think of.

    super fantastic- my mk 2 is still out there in the big world of trials being ridden... mk1's broke, the two fixed that i from what i gather.

    planet x's are two triangles... boring- yes, but how are they the dumbest things ever?
