Full sus frame

hoathy

So I was thinking about making the step to full sus (again), I'm on a budget but I only want a frame, all the parts on my Sunn would switch over except the odd one or two. I am probably going to have to buy second hand. Any suggestions for a frame to balance 150mm revs? I like to think outside to box...

what type of riding, what preffered rear travel, what budget??

Trail riding mainly the light end of all mountain? 140mm rear travel would probably be about right. I don't want something so heavy I can't ride it without killing myself. The Scott is really nice! But too small unfortunately.

what's the budget?

have a look at the santa cruz hecklers, they've recently updated them (slacker head angle) but in their last format (2007 onwards i think) they were great all round bikes (had one ofr 5 years) that could be built up to a beefy all mountain rig or a lighter trail set up (they'll take fork from 140-160).

there are usually a few on e-bay and as they only cost £800-1000 new (depending which year you bought it) i'm pretty sure you would get one at a decent price. also as single pivot, very little to go wrong with them, so older bike is likely to be in half decent nick. santa cruz bearing have got a good rep as well, i never touced mine in 5 years. finally as SC sell a lot of frame onlys, supply is likely to be ok

other than that, some of the old design nuke proof mega's woul;d be worth a look if you can find any

without knowing what you're looking to spend it's hard to say.
