Looking to build an XC bike (full suspension) and I am after suggestions for the frame. I would ideally like a frame that takes a 140mm fork and a 130mm shock as I have all the other components
i would prefer a carbon frame
Not sure if it would take my shock/forks but what about a Santa Cruz Blur?
Sounds more like a Tallboy?
YT Izzo?
What shock do you have @gooner666? Its dimensions will sort of decide compatible frames for you.
Mine takes a 190x40. The shock itself has a spacer in it, so it could be easily converted to 190x45 if needed on another frame... but that's all I can change on it AFAIK.
As for the fork (depending on the model), you may be able to change the travel.
Heavily reduced Scott spark from Balfes (910 £2885 or 910TR if you need a bigger size) and strip and sell the bits you don't want?
Love my Transition Spur for XC duties. Merlin had some cheap Blur frames the other week?
Thanks everyone. I am having a Tallboy built. I can transfer everything apart from the Fox Neo seat post (34.9 x 150mm) so look out in adds shortly
Excited about getting another Santa Cruz after many many years
