Guys,

After breaking the hanger on my Titus FTMc for what seems like the millionth time I've had enough. Time for a new frame.

My critera are as follows:

- 26" Wheel
- Size Small
- Max. 150mm Travel
- Tapered Head Tube
- 30.9 Seat Tube
- Max £800
- New or 2nd Hand
- Mostly trail riding & a bit of enduro racing

Titus El Guapo seems the obvious answer but they are currently out of stock.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Second hand I've seen quite a few Turner 5 Spots which fit that criteria as long as you get a later model with the right headtube.

Cheers for the replies.

I'll keep an eye out for 5 spots.

The camber is a bit short on rear travel. I'll be running a set of 150mm forks.

Any others?

Stumpjumper... OK, so it's very boring, which is exactly why you can rely on them not ****ing up something as elementary as a mech hanger.
