not sure really, i just really like it! why am i missing something?

aluminum tends to bend real easy. it's not practical for trail riding or mx/xc racing. in my opinion the only thing it has an advantage to is drag racing or maybe if your building a trailer queen. If your looking for a good aftermarket frame find a chromoly one

bill ballance ran one on his XC racer. Everything i read said its stronger then stock and 20% lighter.

i think trail riding/ xc'ing it should be ok, except for hitting trees, but any frame would have a problem with that...jumping/mx'ing would be a problem....and by the way i doubt that its 20% probaly more like 10% which isn't very much, but goodluck you still see them once in awhile....
