Folks,
I now have the opportunity to buy a new frame for my 'frankstein' project. Currently I have the following on components that i would be looking to build onto the new frame
Xero Element wheels
Hope Nine 203mm front brake
SLX Crank and Hollowtech II btb
RockShox Reba forks
Been looking at some of the Handsome dog frames from AllTerraincycles and Sintesi 707 from merlin as well as a BeOne Karma from chainreactions.
Does any body have any experiance of these frames? I do a fair mixture of ridding, from single track, commuting, cross country and down hill. My current frame is from a 2005 Saracen Rufftrax size 18".
Many thanks

Seems an odd build - hefty wheels and brakes, XC fork and frame.0

Given the type of riding you do id be looking at getting a long travel hardtal (one one 456 maybe? £150) Stick the forks on ebay and put the money towards something longer (RS pikes maybe)
All depends on how much you want to spend really......0
