I have found myself in the market for a new mtn frame. I recently broke in half my trusty manitou HT. My ? is, do I get a fat ti now or wait for the xlm w/ headshock not yet available. I am 6'00" tall and my wt is 180lbs. I am an agressive rider but do not race. My local terrain is rocky and technical, big climbs and fast bone rattling descents. I have been worned the xlm may flex to much in the BB for my needs. Is the xlm worth the wt savings and the wait. I believe I will need a 18.75" frame. please respond asap. thanx tom z
