> my aluminum was an awesome race frame. Starts were crazy because there was no flex. Riding trails on it was amazing because it handled like a razor. Transfers were EASY. I just didn’t trust it enough to really ride it super hard. I only rode it in sections that I had dialed. Other than that it was the Holmes.

ya when i was ridin my Powerlite ALs, if I switched over to my brother’s Holmes it felt so heavy and clumsy compared to my bike. but then once i’d ride mine again, i’d be all squirreled out in the air on the powerlite cause its almost too light/responsive. plus, when you guys used to hit decent sized gaps at the trails on your AL bikes, did they make a wierd, high-pitched honing sound on the face? mine did, it was crazy.
