Advice in this please...

Ok looking for a hardtail frame to build up from, and have been trawling the auction sites for a Spesh Hardrock or Rockhopper to have as a base.

However came across this, it says it same as the Brand-X, and just wanted to gauge thoughts of folks here really...

Thanks.

for a bit less you could have this with shop back up?

Or a bit more (£249.99) you could have a carbon 29" frame from On One: http://www.on-one.co.uk/i/q/FROOLUR29/o ... 29er_frame

The 26" are £270 I think.

Both look good.

I dont want to turn this into another thread, but being out the game for a a long whiles, are the 29ers the way to go ?

It's a very personal thing, I've not taken the plunge myself, like my current 26" bikes too much.

Though the new ARC 29 Carbon is getting me thinking.... :?
