Craftworks FRX - Opinions?

[danieldwashere]

Hi,

Has anyone got one or had a chance to ride a Craftworks FRX?

There are two reviews on MTBreview.com but they look suspiciosly glowing 5/5, like they were written buy someone who might be selling them...

I like the idea of something a bit special and dont mind paying a bit more or getting slightly lower spec to support a small aussie company, however i dont want a Sh*t bike!

so its david vs goliath or craftworks FRX VS Giant 2009s....

Last issue of Revoloution had a review on it, sounds good in all aspects, and is described as suited for the agressive side of trail riding.

I'd definitely have one. High-ish single pivot with a good platform shock, decent headangle - spot on for me.

I rode one on the weekend at a skills session, am in seriously tempted to buy the FRX. Really light bike with the handling of a Giant Trance, but the aggressive geometry of a Reign or similar bike. It felt great to be on and handled really well on singletrack - both up and down the track. They are now being sold at 600 bucks off because the new model is coming out in the next few months.
