Custom or UK Built frames

Kaise

So i am thinking about buying a frame and i have been looking at a ragley blue pig and piglet

is there any other frames i should be looking at for a build that is for some trail centre and free ride stuff with a little bit of downhill thrown in........

I think Andy posted a while back about a frame from a company that began with L but i can't think of them and it looked pretty awesome

Frame budget is £350

There are a few
DMR Trailstar (Freeborn)
Indentiti AKA AM (CRC)
Sanderson Blitz AM (CRC)
Orange Crush (All Terrain)
Sinister Ridge


a few more sheets
Evil Soverign
Transition Trans AM
Santa Cruz Chameleon

Obviously not from the UK...

Be aware that not many are actually built in the UK though!

the Built UK thing isn't actually that much of a requirement! I am thinking of building something fun and just don't really know where to start.....

I have a Piglet and think it's brilliant. Psyclewerks in Bristol have, or at least had a few months ago, a built-up one if you wanted a test ride. Not ridden a Slackline but a guy over on the MTBE forum had one built to quite high spec, but he's not put anything about how it rides.

Yeah just noticed that Psyclewerx on White Ladies Road stock em...looks like leigh woods has been used in the demo vids....cracking looking bike.

Just been to see the guys at Psyclewerx and i think i am going to get myself a Piglet, but first i need to sell this damn road bike!

Ebay session in progress, the bike workshop place in bristol offered me £500 notes in part exchange, he let slip they would sell it for 1.5x what they give me, so i am hoping for £650-£700 on ebay really, this means i will need to find £700 for the piglet build!
