If you want to do more natural then definatly loose the pashley. Pashleys are street bikes through and through.

Just having a quick look through tartybikes.com and the frames they have got, i would suggest going for one of theses frames;

Ashton Justice

These frames feel good on all types of terrain, they feel great for street but they feel equally at home on the rocks. Plus the +20mm Bottom bracket rise means it still sits nice and low. Also they are designed by mr Ashton himself what more could you want.

Echo Control

My friend rides one of these and is great on everything he rides. The Frame only has a +10mm Bottom bracket rise so it's even nearer to the pashley. These frames can be made to look and feel very nice indeed. I don't know the length on the pashley but im gueesing its quite short, so if you want to stay in keeping with this then the ashton may stand you in better stead as even the short version of this is longer than the ashton.

Onza Limely

There are not many of these around lately, this bike is a great looking bike and is ideal for natural terrain. Check out the tarty bikes video with Danny butler & Stan Shaw riding natural on these beauties (TartyBikes-DannyAndStan). The bottom bracket is only +20mm so its sits as low as the ashton. But may i add, as with the Control this is quite a long frame at 1095mm

MBK T1000

These frames are complete sex on spokes in my opinion, Stan Shaw (above) rides one amazingly and they look the nuts with the right parts. The colour of this frame is rich and stands out well, the welds are nice quality and I doubt there will be many of these broken. Ohh and it even comes with a bottle of touch up paint when you scratch it. The bottom bracket is the highest so far in this little selection at +35mm so it wont feel as low to the ground but at least its not as high as a Vinco at +80mm!!

There is my little selection on what frames would suit you but its only my opinion do what ever you feel like in the end. God I wrote a bit of an essay there.

Oh and for a rear rim, ive heard good things about ronnie's and the try-all rims sound nice too, and the try-all's have just got the fluro colours in!

Nice post dude, summed it up really well! In addition - the Alex DX32 rims are also well worth a look, and a quick search on the forum should yield more info on those.

Yes very true, i forgot that tarty have just got in some Alex DX32's. I know of a few people riding them and and even for some heavy riders not even a flatspot yet, some ace rims there.

[the judge]

The new Echo Pure is a good, slightly cheaper, alternative to those listed above

Gives you the option of whether you want 4bolt or v-mounts too
