150mm travel frame

DanG87

Hi
Looking for a 150mm travel frame after returning my titus el guapo due to manufacturing issues, any frames for less than £1000?
Must be frame only and available in medium
Thanks

Sounds like you need a Nukeproof Mega.

DanG87

All the old ones are sold out, new ones are 1300 i think, and not avalable yet.

The 160mm Mega AM is around your budget and a current 2013 model isn't it?

DanG87

2013 mega am is 1300 with shock, i'd prefer the tr version with a 150 fork up the front any way but that's the same price

Ok, I apologise, I thought it was around £1100.

Your not going to get anything but an EG for under £1K unless you get a sell off bargain or buy used.

CRC have a couple that work

Think I'd try another EG though!

yup - if you want new, you're gonna be struggling to get anything decent for sure.

Noticed a few (old) Mega's on Pinkbike a couple of weeks back for about the price of a new EG.

EG frames should be back in stock in about 8wks apparently...waiting on one myself

Titus FTM Carbon. Take 140/150mm forks at the front and has 135mm rear travel

Went for a 2012 specilized stumpjumper fsr frame new for 800, same as 2013 I believe. Probably more suitable than the el guapo any for all around trail rides and trips to lakes.

The frame is standard 140 non EVO version, I've got a new pair of 150 floats to go on. Would anyone recommend reducing the travel to 140, my guess it's only half a degree slacker with 150.

Anyone know what specialized warranty policy is regarding maximum fork length for the stumpy.

Usually plus 10% max.

Cheers so all good, would you drop them to 140 or leave them at 150?

I'd leave them at 150 it should be fine. I have a Spesh XC Pro which came with 120mm as standard but I have been running 140 Floats on it for the last 6 months and no problems whatsoever.
