Mine would be Redline or Torker..............what about you?

Best 'out of the box' bike from bitd is either Mongoose Pro Class or Diamond Back Leary Turbo.

Apart from that any of the good make frames were pretty similar in quality it was all about the parts you hung on them.

Has to be the Redline Proline 2, I broke supergooses, race incs, diamond backs, and only managed to break the redlines forks, they are the most stable at speed and handle so well, maybe just one exception, the Skyway TA I had a ride on today was blinding, may have to look out for one of them
