Standard 125R - Full chromoly, weighs only 4 #'s. Maybe not the most "innovative, but I am a fan of simplicity and strength!

Re: Best race frame since 2000?

Kind of an arbitrary question. It really depends on what feels good to you, style of riding/racing and a million other things. But I'm liking my Supercross blur pro xl. Great light frame, solid geometry, looks good. Love them since I first saw one two years ago and finally got one for myself.

This is not my frame, just a similar polished blur.

Another vote for Supercross.  I ride a UL, which I love.  Best similar to other Chromoly frames like the 125r.  I'm waiting for the cash man to leave some money, and then I'll upgrade to the Supercross Envy.

1 vote for the Standard, as mentioned I am a fan of the simplicity yet when you think of the weight it as come a long way

Also a fan of S&M, still american made and just feel right when you ride it

My Standard 125R Cruiser is the best frame I have ever owned, but I like steel. If I were into aluminum I'd look into the Yess frames.

The S&M .38 special is the best IMO.

Re: Best race frame since 2000?

Love the Supercross offerings... my son and I each have 2012 Blur's and they are stiff and smooth. If I had the extra cash I would have grabbed the Envy's but the geo is the same and the extra few ounces aren't that critical to us. Plus from a customer service perspective, Bill Ryan (the owner of Supercross) handled all of my questions personally through email/phone conversation and I am a nobody from LA (Lower Alabama) and he is a super classy guy. He is doing a custom run of ten XXXXL Envys (yes, that is four X's) with a 22.75 top tube and 16" chainstays this month and is offering them up to whoever wants them. Who does that these days?? Supercross is continually innovating and keeps the customer at the forefront. They will have my business for a long time!

All depends on what your looking for. My vote is for supercross but lots of people are starting with GT and Standard.
