New Frame advice

goofy1520

Hello,

I am looking at buying a new frame, I have a budget of around £1100.
I currently have a 07 Yeti575, with 09 & 10 components. I would like a bike with similar travel, and have been looking at a 08/09 Yeti 575, Tomac Snyper 140, Nukeproof Mega, and the odd one is a Lapierre Zesty 214 bike, which would costs a bit more, but more for the money, although would want to change some of the comonents to the ones I have, not sure about the warranty situation?
Slight negative against the Yeti, have had some issues with current 07 swingarm, and the 08/09 would still be 2-3 years old, not as up to date as other options?

Any views on these options, or alternatives would be appreciated.

Cheers

Is usually best to go for the full bike, then sell off the excess (or keep parts you like and fit).

To be honest I had the same predicament earlier this year...I wanted to do my own build..I looked at the 575, Covert, Snyper and Foxy, Hectik and in the end went for the Snyper....it is a fantastic frame and I like the fact you don't see a lot about....here is a link to mine:

One other frame which is a cracking buy if your a large frame is this:

An amazing deal at that price !!

bike looks really nice, I have been starting to lean towards the Snyper, and your bikes certinly not discouraging me.
How does it ride, what type of riding do you do?

Thanks
