A saracen raw frame - with
marazzoci junior t 170mm forks

hope hubs
hope disks

and few other bits and bobs?

Its the frame that concerns me

You seen it to buy? Avoid like the plague. Absolutely not designed for that fork or shock, will have screwed geometry and a bottom bracket height like the Eiffel tower.

Its got some good bits on it, just the wrong bits for the frame. I used to have one, had 140mm rear travel and a100mm fork (can take upto a 130mm fork).

so still avoid like the plague - im no steve peat im brave if i do a 4 ft drop off

You don't need a bike with 180mm forks then ;-)

What riding do you do and what budget? Would you be better off with a hardtail?
