Sorry, is this for a bike or just the frame (and forks)?

Some of the suggestions above sound like frame only.

Also hardtail or full suspension?

Cube go up to 23cm

good point.
21" and 23" available:

XC Carbon Hardtail
1.35 k

https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube-reaction-c-62-carbon-n-white-652451

not at all the type of bike for my biking style and the Rapid Rob is the worst tyre I ever had.
But if you are up to XC racing...
Many other Cube bikes in above link.
Aluminium Cube frames starting around £99 ... many in 21"

New voodoo bizango has a 22" frame size option for tall people, or those that don't want a metre of seatpost... 😉

@somtam:

now 27.5...
not an bad idea. Every biker has it's biking style and home trails. I went the wheel sizes up ... and down again.
Tweak now more tire width and rim width....

29 : for some trails very, very fast. But I like the 27.5 more. Playful & - for me - more fun.

Crazy idea: Merida Big Trail 800. Maybe available in winter sale? 1.3 k would be good.
Plus bike. Checked it out at an store nearby - was really impressed...
Not for racing. Slack and long, fat tyres.
Frame size up to 21 inch I believe.
2.8 inch tyres.

Not a XC racing machine like the Cube.
Just an idea.

I'm selling a 21 inch Niner at the moment. There may be some room to negotiate on the amount I'm looking for it. It's spotless and only been used three times.

Should you be looking for a brand new bike, then I have recently ridden both Scott and Specialized hardtails and the frames are excellent. I'm not too fussed about a basic drivetrain, as I find even the entry level stuff to be excellent, but the more basic forks you get with these builds aren't wonderful
