FS frame ideas

bramstoker

Need some ideas for a FS frame for a stouter gentleman needs to be fairly rugged as it will take a bit of stick, but not so heavy as to make hills a nightmare, £500 or there abouts.

Oddly you see a lot of £500 full sussers - but not £500 full sus frames! Almost always better value to buy the full bike.

I'd take a look at this:

Can sell off the unwanted parts. And some good parts there too! 6 inches of travel in a medium weight frame, but with a more XC/trail bias as not as slack as other 6 inch bikes.

I have some fairly good stuff already slx shifters gears ect and reba race forks, thats why i was looking at the frame only option.

You could always try buying used.
I paid £300 for my Patriot frame off of ebay.
