Just looking to buy a cheap full suspension frame but no idea what this is.
Any help would be great thanks.
All the best. Max

cheap and nasty."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

I have seen very similar cheap kona-esk bikes
silverfox - raptor (i think), but might have well called it hawkwind.......
not worth what ever you were thinking......0 -
Thanks guys, The frame is only £40 thought it would be
a good to see what fs would be like.

looks like it has about 40mm of travel! And a crude, undamped shock. Will be flexy, heavy, and ride like a pogo stick.0

+1 if you want to see what FS would be like, then you need to ride won that works....that won't - in real value it's probably worth more as scrap than as a bike frame.Currently riding a Whyte T130C, X0 drivetrain, Magura Trail brakes converted to mixed wheel size (homebuilt wheels) with 140mm Fox 34 Rhythm and RP23 suspension. 12.2Kg.0

All the best

Go to some demo days mate. That's a much better option for seeing how a full suss rides rather than buying a BSO from eBay or wherever0
