have we missed the deadline for a response?
my vote is Butcher. These days, it's pretty easy to build a 6 inch AM bike for reasonable $$ that is plenty light enough to handle the XC portion of the all-round riding spectrum.

I absolutely love my Butcher. I use it for everything. I've been on it for a full season so far and its been good to me.

Not to mention the Butcher and Nickel frames are pretty close to the same weight. Go for the Butcher.
All I know is that I don't know nothin'... and that's fine.

Thanks for the input lads. I had no interwebs in camper out in boonies so sorry for late response. So the verdict is ....................BUTCHER! Large black and on my hitch mounted rack now and driving home. Schweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. Nice bike. Now since i'm still healing from a broken leg thanks to Highland bike park I will be on some mellow terrain the next couple a weeks. Then I will get after it.
