yo guys got into DH bout a year ago been using a carrera bansheefor this time with some boxxers on but has now gone and snapped on me
Lookign for a frame most likely 2nd hand looking at maybe max 200 but could go to 300 for the right frame?
Any sugestions?
Cheers

go find some and we can tell you about them
second hand for that money you might find some old frames but the shocks will be in need of services or replacing."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Orange 223 2006 frame £260
Specilised Big hit 2007 £230
Mongoose Black Diamond £200

All rubbish but out of the three the big hit is least bad. It needs a 24" rear wheel.
You wont get a useful dh frame under £400 with a working shock.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350 -
and dont forget much of your bits will not fit or work on a real DH frame."Do not follow where the path may lead, Go instead where there is no path, and Leave a Trail."

Rear wheel definitely wont fit. Bottom bracket and cranks are unlikely to fit. Seat post might fit if you're lucky.
How old are your Boxxers? Old ones were shorter than modern ones. The real old ones were flexy as buggery as well.Transition Patrol - viewtopic.php?f=10017&t=130702350
