Frame choice for returning mtber

Secla

I stopped mtbing 3-4 years ago when my daughter was born and am now looking to get back into it.
I'm mainly into singletrack trails and a bit of cross country. I used to have a ns surge with 150mm RS pikes. Was a good bike but quite heavy for Xc duty s.

I'm looking at either a cotic bfe or ragley blue pig with an adjustable fork between 120-140mm. I've been out of the game for a while so I'm not really up on all the newtech so any advice or other options/ideas would be great

Think Ragley have stopped doing blue pig as a complete bike (frame only now). I'd look at the Marley myself.

Ive seen csc are doing clearance on the ragley m74.
Seems it may be weighty and not sure how id get on with the single crankset

The Rookie

On-one 456 (carbon or steel) will work with that fork range as well.

Like this - 28lbs seems good to me. Where'd you get it?

Edit - I know that commencal sell used (ex demo I think) bikes direct - worth a look. See http://www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBSCPr ... D=12738872

Theres always an On One 456 too.

check this link out , http://www.commencal-store.co.uk/PBSCProduct.asp, the frames are 359.00 (euros) works out to about £303.00 with all sizes in stock. The medium frame comes in at 2.7kg... not for the weight concious but who cares when you can through as much abuse at it as you want and it takes it in its stride.
