Anyone had a go on a Kinesis XC3 or XC3 Pro.

I'm looking for a nice light XC frame, 100mm adjusted, these look like they fit the bill.

The xcpro3 is a stunning looking frame, all the kinesis frames get excellent reviews.

Orange G Series frame was a contender as well when I was looking if your err'ing more toward trails & Singletrack rather than a pure xc race bike.

I've got an XC Pro 2 which I bought second hand a couple of months ago - very impressed. The carbon rear stays make it snappy and the geometry is quite race oriented.

This is the second Kinesis frame I've had and I really rate them - nicely made and light.

Not sure how much the kenesis frame is, but how about an on one carbon whippet? Seemed like very good value when I was lookiing for my father in law.
