Where do people look for used frames? I need something to suit my components and ebay has the usual selection of stolen or overpriced rubbish, nothing is coming up in Bikeradar, STW or Pinkbike. Anywhere else to look?
The sun is out and my frame is broke

I'm looking for a large full sus xc frame to suit a 100mm/120mm fork for around £400. Ideally a Giant Trance X, Specialized Camber, Santa Cruz Superlight/Nickel, Trek Fuel, Turner Flux etc I thought there would be loads of options but it appears notTransition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

My guess would be that is because the op mentioned it0

You might have more luck buying a second hand bike and then selling components that are inferior to yours.0

Awkward fail :P
I feel I should probably read these things in future0 -
I'm sure I saw a couple of trances/anthems in large on pinkbike not long ago.
I know how you feel though, I'm 6ft1 and it's a pain in the arse trying to find something that fits me. If I were a few inches shorter there would be loads of choice. Oh well, just gotta keep your eyes peeled really.0 -
I found one. A nice 2011 Anthem X frame. Can't wait to get it and build it up :-)Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350

always worth keeping an eye on the classifieds ay www.retrobike.co.uk - their idea of what's retro is very variable sometimes.
also www.singletrackworld.com has plenty of people buying and selling via classifieds0 -

Got myself the spesh frame for a great price on pinkbike, you just gotta be patient.
Ride.io has some bargains, but usually DH bikes.0
