Help on which FS frame?

[Breitness24]

Hey guys Im fairly new to the 29er scene and bought a windsor 29er 3 months ago. Im looking to buy a frame to go FS. I found two frames that are in my budget I dont know where to begin with choosing.

1. salsa big mama
2.khs flagstaff

Both frames I can find for about 550 shipped. I just dont know if there is a better of the two. Anyone have one that could give me some input? Thanks in advance.

On a side note im a big guy and riding for the past 3 months helped me lose 30 lbs.!!!!

I don't have any time on the KHS, but the Salsa Big Mama is a very nice bike IMO. The suspension is plush. The frame is burly IMO (+/-7#). The year I rode the Big Mama, the complete bike was selling for close to $4000...how times have changed...still a great bike for a great price IMO. Best wishes finding your bike.

FWIW, the Salsa Big Mama is the bike that got me hooked on 29ers...

If you are at all interested in resale value , go with the Salsa .
