I couldn't find a trace of any evil sovereign frames, well at least any recent new ones.
Interested in how the Shan goes, but at the moment I'm keen on the Coptic BFe.

gotta be innit to win it!...it was a gamble as to weather my local avanti dealer was going to help me, as they have a history of being total wankers!..but they came through for me finally, after years of poor service and overprice bike parts

Hi guys. Posted this one up on post your ride a couple of months ago. Since then a couple of minor changes and a bit of gear swapping between bikes but nothing major. Just thought I'd add it to the mix

Great bike to ride. Really enjoying the slack front end. So stable on the descents and at speed. Been out to the you yangs a couple of times - otherwise just the local tracks out west of town - don't think it gives up much to the dually (Avanti Torrent) at all

Frame - 14 inch Ragley Blue Pig X
Fork - Rockshox Revelation RL
Handlebars - Easton Haven
Stem - Ragley stubbing 50 mm
Seatpost - KS supernatural lever. Swap it between bikes as needed
Front/rear brake/cranks/shifter - SLX
Rear derailleur - Zee
Chainring - E13 guidering
Chainguide - E13 LS1
Pedals - Nukeproof proton
Wheels - Easton haven
Tyres - Hans dampf 2.35 front/WTB mutano 2.4 rear (both tubeless)

And with some DMR motos on another set of wheels just for tootling around capital city/yarra trail on a nice day

I might as well jump on board this thread:

It's a Lynskey Ridgeline 26", I can't tell you how much i love this bike. Perfect balance of climbing ability and descending prowess, true all-mountain!

I'm looking at selling my current 4 bikes and building a single hardtail for everything. I have a 26" anthem, rigid 29er, demo 8 and a bmx at the moment but mainly ride the anthem. I end up riding the anthem like a downhill bike and don't find the H/A too steep. I love the climbing ability but find it's a little sketchy over bigger jumps. What all-mountain hardtail would you guys recommend? I've got a fairly open budget and would look at custom ti/maybe a lynskey/shan etc. I basically want an aggressive hardtail that I can ride technical trails but still smash big climbs.

What frame is that? it looks familiar.

And you hit the trails with rigid forks? I thought I was being adventurous getting a hardtail, couldn't imagine riding without suspension up front.

Whats your budget? Are you looking for a complete bike or you willing to go for a custom build?

I've just placed an order for a Cotic BFe, will be doing a custom build with 160mm forks to give me a little room for error on the steeper descents. If you google All mountain hardtail heaps of options will come up, the ones that I noticed popping up a lot were -

- Evil Sovereign
- Transition Trans Am
- On One 456 (think theres a carbon and steel version of this frame)
- Ragely Blue Pig
- Dialled Alpine
- Santa Cruz Chameleon
- Production Privee Shan
- Chromag Stylus
- Commencal Ramones
- Cove Stiffee
- Stanton Slackline
