Bit of an odd question perhaps but I am looking for opinion on what the options are on secondhand 4" full suss XC frame? I have been out of the loop MTB wise for a couple of years so looking for advice on what the best options on a moderate budget.

You don't say what your "moderate" budget is but I'd be looking for a Stumpjumper FSR from around 2008 for £250-£300. Great xc bikes and plenty out there so you can be choosy.

Best option is a new HT, rather than a s/h FS frame that might need a shock/bearings/bushings service/replacement.

Turner Flux is 4" travel

What size are you? I have a 19" large for sale

I am 6' with 33" leg and it fits really well

Turner pivots last ages and shock works perfectly

Some of the new spesh frames arent bad trekster, are the BB's still as low? Size really needs to be large.
