I'm planning on replacing my frame, and I'm not sure whether to go Motobecane 600HT or Sette Reken? They're roughly the same price.
The reken has a TON of super positive reviews, the but tire clearance is only 2.3", whereas the 600HT is 2.5". (I like running 2.35's) Also, I like doing XC/All Mountain/some street (including curbs, some stairs, etc...), and I can't tell if the reken will stand up to it as well as the 600HT's beefier seat stays? The reken is 6061, whereas the 600HT is 7005; I'm not sure if that makes any difference since they're both quality frames.
Any advice or opinions? Especially from folks who have a reken frame or a 600ht frame?
Thanks!
