Hi all.

I'm looking at getting a second hand hardtail 100mm travel bike. Already got some U turn pikes to couple it with.

What you got suggestion wise.
Thinking about a dialled holeshot/ last rufus type bike.

Also if anyone is selling a frame, please let me know.
Please email at Brownix.jb @ Googlemail.com as i don't want this thread ending up like a buy n sell page.

Thanks

You can have my Orange Hitman (2006 IIRC) - perfect match to 100mm forks (rides well with 36s @ 100mm). ISCG tabs, strong as an ox.... and not too heavy.

is it for racing 4X or pissing about on or as an all rounder?

If racing which races/tracks and what cat/level are you?

I race DH at the moment, so i'm just wanting it to be a second bike to get my confidence in the air/learn some fancy stuff for show!
But i wouldn't mind racing a few beginner 4x races?

Charge blender, I saw a frame in good nick go for £80 on eBay last week, they're real strong & great ride wouldn't say its 'the' ultimate 4x race machine. Snap, Krisis, yeti, DJ and the new jackal are lighter & probably more suited to flat out racing but the blender is exceptional value, as my only bike I use mine as a do it all, trail, xc, dh, 4x & dj....I love it. See the link below for photos of it, there is a lil vid of me jumping on it to:
