Hi.

Im looking at getting a steel Hardtail frame that takes 650b boost spacing wheels (Want to share the wheels off another bike).

Ive been looking at the following:

BTR Ranger which looks great (Waiting to hear more about lead times)

Stanton Switchback 631

Was wondering if there are anymore worth looking at?  Ideally smaller British companies.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

Next years Whyte?

Bonkers amounts of long/slack (475 reach in L, 65deg HA), and made from 853 so contains more magic fairy dust than the competition.

Many thanks for all the replies.  Its given me a lot to think about and some brands i hadn't heard of which is what i was looking for. Something a bit different.

Kind of siding towards Kingdom frames now. The Vendetta X2 UK spec looks great for the money and as said above its "fancy steel" lol.

Thanks

Adam at really good bikes is a good guy to deal with and could sort you a demo of a Vendetta.

My X2 is a hoot to ride.
