[QUOTE="LRice85, post: 419426, member: 25499"] I've been having this discussion with a friend and I want to get eveyones opinion. Why do you think no other manufacturer(excpeet Cannondale) has gone with an Aluminum perimeter frame like Honda? I think the CR/CRF frame is the best in MX. Maybe not 97-99 but certainly the 2002 frame is basically flawless. Is it becuase there is so much time and trial and error into getting an aluminum frame dialed in? Most people knowing the the 1st generation Honda aluminum frame was not that great would be reluctant to by a 1st generation by another manufacturer? Or Is there really not much of an advantage to the CR aluminum frames? The CR's handle like a dream and will always have a weight advantage as long as they keep up with the "jones" on other weight saving techniques. I think the permeter design is more important than the fact that it is aluminum. It's just that to use that design of frame you need aluminum to keep the weight down. What do you guys think?
