Hey guys, my birthday is coming up so think I'm going to treat myself to a new frame to build up. Gotta be a 29er with clearance for 2.6 and around 140mm travel.
Looking at the ragley big al, Dartmoor primal and the crazy option of on-ones hello Dave frame (although that only supports a 160mm rear rotor which is a bit of a deal breaker). Thinking budget of 300-400, any other suggestions I might be unaware of?
A lot of nice frames in that category are £500-£600 - especially if you want steel.
If you can stretch your budget I’d have a look at the Pace 29er, Bird Zero 29er and Cotic Bfemax. Think the Genesis Tarn could be worth a look too.
There’s a bit of debate about the Sonder Signal Steel on another thread - it looks heavy for the price and may or may not have butted steel tubes.
Orange sometimes have their frames on sale close to your budget - but there aren’t many sales on right now with the demand for bikes. Orange Clockwork Evo 29 / Crush 29 / P7 29 might be worth some investigation.
well bought one of these beauties
I've got a chromag root down in large, for £350 posted, if interested...
all those things you're looking for!
