Posts: 2
I have just got married and a new house is looming so before all the dosh starts going on this domestic shite I want to upgrade and get a new frame. I've had a Marin Rock Springs for the last year which is a nice bike and copes very well with thetype of riding I do but I want to upgrade. I have already upgraded on the parts so a new frame would finish it off......
I,m Looking for an All Mountain, light but quality frame around a grand?? I was just wondeirng if anyone has any advice...oh and don't tell the wife.
Cheers

P.S I have been drooling over a Commencal but there are few reviews on frames out there.Also like the Trek Remedy. As this is my last chance to buy I want to make the right choice. I aint under the thumb or anything I am just taing advantage of many brownie points after I new frame is an investment....

Remedy may be overkill. Another Marin? Giant do some good models too relatively cheaply.
Sometimes better to buy the whole bike and sell the bits you don't need.0 -
i think you can get a brand new orange five frame for around a grand?0

Go for a Orange 5 frame built light and tough and stronger than
the catergory its in.
Best advice try out has many test bikes you can then buy the frame
that suits you.0 -
the frame isnt built that light but it is tough, 6.6lbs is pretty hefty. a light weight bike can be made with the correct spec.0

Giant Trance X frame is good value, light and tough as hell! Commencal Meta 5.5 is a bit chunkier, but rides brilliantly and will take even more of a beating0
