Hi there,
I currently ride a Focus Raven Expert bike ( http://www.wiggle.co.uk/p/cycle/7/-_-/5360026033/ ) and would like to upgrade it to a FS bike. Ideally I'd like to just shift all the components across to a new frame but am not sure about the 100mm fork. Has anyone got any advice for a suitable frame to do this with - budget is around £750 but be willing to spend up to £1000 for something suitable - main use will be XC riding.
Thanks in advance,
Mike

Be aware that all the old parts may not fit - ie headset, seatpost, fork (steerer length), front mech, cable routing etc.
May be better to buy a full bike, swap the good parts over, and sell the excess.0
