Crmo anyone
Cove do the Handjob, Columbus premium custom butted handwelded in the land of the Maple and leaf super light and the hard nut Sanchez, both to run off a 100 MM fork, Rocky do the Hammer still, there's DeKerf, WTB, Kona, Orange, Salsa do two, an Xc and a hardnut, I think Reflex are still in the swim, Rock Lobster do the 853 as do many UK builders still. DMR's range gets bigger, Spesh and Mongoose do a few Crmo as do Flo, some have a hardnut tendency, but they are not that heavy or extreme, CHarge do a nice frame in both Crmo and Ti now, even GT now do an XC crmo frame again, more choice than ever!!

On a budget...
Genesis Altitude 2.0, Reynolds 853 and full XT.
Closest thing to what an Orange Prestige was BITD I reckon.

cheers dude!
steel
had a 05 explosif up until recently and that was a better bike than my spesh full bounce and ti gt, handled fantastically and superb fun. dont know why i got rid of it in fact......oh yeah thats right i got a cove hummer
now that is an awesome bike! now dont get me wrong, i love my fully rigid steel machines but 5 inches of travel up front and a litespeed made ti frame and i become a demon on 2 wheels :twisted: :evil: :twisted:

Salsa and De Kerf are still going and would be my favourite, and Rocky Mountain still do top end steel frames.
