[Closed] Cheap steel 29er with sliding dropouts

So I have a steel Voodoo Wanga - the red 26" wheel version with the sliding dropouts - but I have a hankering for something similar but in 29er flavour.

Is there anything out there that won't break the bank (it's my SS budget daily hack)? Must be sliding dropouts though, not slot, which rules out the Inbred 29er annoyingly. Everything I've found so far seems to be high-budget boutique frames..

I was about to suggest a Unit but was beaten too it.

I have a 2014 one that I enjoy very much.

I used to have one of those frames.... I managed to get a smaller 29er tyre in there, and slapped some 29" forks up front and it was still a bit of fun.

I ran a 2.3" in 26" form in there, but there was plenty of room with the wheel pulled forward with a 29er with a Rapid Rob

For some reason I have a photo...

Keep your eyes peeled for a used original 'slidey' Inbred 29er?

I still have mine (but still need it in my life).

I’ve got a Voodoo Bizanga frame that would fit the bill. Bought off here recently but unlikely to build it up. £30 posted

Interesting about the Kona Unit - didn't know about them, cheers!

I thought the sliding dropout Bizango was ally?

Sadly at 6' I think that'd be a smidge on the small side, but a bargain indeed! I think I'll be looking for used anyway tbh.
