I called the LBS, they have frames in atm, but can special order the bikes. Im gonna drop in tomorrow and have a look. If the frames really are that good, id seriously consider one as no matter what i get, i expect to upgrade the fork (probably to a RS Reba) before the year is out anyway.
Also, google is no help. Anyone know anything about "Scor" parts? My best guess is they are BMC in-house parts of something. Namely the following -
Brakes - Scor V-Light
Stem - Scor, 10°
Sorry it took so long. I didn't have a chance to go to the LBS until today. Luckily, the owner was there and I got to ask him about his bike. He races, and he said that BMC was the fastest HT he's ever ridden. I don't remember how light it was, but I don't think it was much more than 20 lbs. He had a full XTR group on it. However, he has broken that bike down because he got a Titus FS to race with. The BMC was awesome, but he said he wanted something to better soak up the bumps. He also said that he's ridden some of the BMC FS bikes and they're really nice, but he hasn't actually given 'em a good thrashing.
Anyway, the HT is sweet...light, but stiff and very fast. Might be too stiff, depending on the terrain and how much punishment your arse is willing to take. We have a lot of rooty, rocky stuff around here, tho. Let me know if there's anything thing else you'd like to know and I'll try to find out. I didn't get to talk to the owner for long today.
