I have an N S Surge and it is a delight. Can run up to 160mm fork. It was a tip from someone on here. Very pleased with it.

The Large Surge was a bit small and I sold it 🙁

456 perhaps but its £400 and there is a new one on the way.

Clink 26inch stuff I am afraid.

Sanderson Soloist with 120mm forks will be fairly slack head angle

Soloist with 130mm revs is pleasingly slack.

Could always contact Curtis bout a freeride SS frame with slack head angle.

Must push it hard to get the best out of it though so I hear online which would sound right : D

You could always look at an eccentric BB for a frame with vertical drop outs. And something like a new BFe could take a slackset HS.
