Looking to build a winter single speed hack from bits in the garage & need a frame. I've seen a NS bikes Clash, any thoughts on the frame?. It'll be 26" wheels with a 140mm fork plugged into it. Be riding flatish local trails so nothing extreme. I would prefer a steel frame but not much around atm.
Cheers & happy Xmas riding

Budget? There are a few steel frames around that suite your requirements, but 26" is getting rare.
Bare in mind that 27.5 is only a 12.7mm bigger radius, so you can use 26" wheels in a 27.5 frame just fine as ling as it doesn't have a crazy low BB already, just keep to bigger tyre sizes.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 -
19.05 mm radius.0

No set figure for budget other than cheap as chips.
Not actually considered a 27.5 but thanks for the idea0 -
