Ok i just built up my new frame. My firts thoughts are that it is really flicky which is the opposite to my echo team long 1030 the aorta frame is 1010 so front wheel back wheel feels really easy , also it sits really nice on the back wheel (better than my echo). Side hoping i can still do 44" which was what i was worried about as i didn't want to loose my sidehops. I would say its weakness is maybe for gaping, i think i need to get used to it more and also i am runing a ACS at the moment which doesnt help. any way im going to ride it more so any questions post them up and i will get back to you! my first thoughts though is that it is sweeeeet
