In XL ... my size ...
But 2014 ...
Is it worth a punt?
Yes. It's a brilliant frame.
26" or 27 via dropouts.
Tiny bit longer than the original Shan iirc.
Here's mine in 26" flavour.

I can't say enough good things about PP frames to be honest. I've become something of a Privé-evangelist.
I've actually got a Shan now but still have the Oka too. I only changed because I'm a tart and loved the colour of the Shan over the nice, but boring 'classic' Oka colour.

The Oka is more all round friendly I think, but both extremely capable frames and with a ride quality I've never experienced on any other hardtail, and I've had a lot of hardtails.
Do it 😀
Friend has the Shan.
Loves it and does crazy things with it.
He bought a used frame as well - but added then very expensive components. New Pike and similar.
Guess he spent in the end around 3k ...
Shan: very special frame! Born in the Pyrenees ...
I have a Shan...its so ace!
I have an XL Oka in the peak if you are close and want a go. I Love mine.. Same age frame running the 26" drop outs and 150mm fork. The dropouts did have a habit of coming loose but they have been loc-tited together now 🙂

Ooh, it's the yellow one too. Very nice.
The Oka is a much rarer frame it seems. Never seen another one out in the wild.
Seen a couple of Shans when I've been on mine though and performed the secret handshake.
🙂
Bought it ... and currently building it up ...
Will keep the Solaris mind ....
