Hi guys....

Off the top of your head...

What manufacturers make Frames that will take a Tapered Fork ??
Do most make one ? A list if possible would be good.

Any frame with a tapered headtube which is most 2013 or 2014 mtbs on the market, You'll only generally find 1 1/8 non tapered on older clearance or second hand

Cotic, Intense to add a couple more.

Am I right in saying that it isn't the headtube per se, but the headset cups that can be fitted in to it? Looking at Hope's pick 'n' mix brochure it looks as though if you're headtube is 44mm+ you're very likely to be able to get a headset that can take a tapered fork.

This, so instead of everyone listing an individual brand or bike lets just leave it at that shall we.

(Although not just tapered headtubes, also 1.5" like Cannondale do will take with a headset reducer)

You've also got frames designed to be used with ZS44 headset that can be adapted to take a tapered steerer by using an external bottom cup.

On-one is another

Nukeproof. Trek.

All (modern) FR/DH frames I should think

I cant think of any quality bike manufacturers who don't use tapered head tubes.
I don't think Carrera, Voodoo, Decathlon or Cannondale do but thats about it.
