Does anyone know where I can get a Whyte T130 frame size XS?
I don't need it to have a shock.

Edit: Whyte won't sell a frame unless it's a crash damage like for like replacement.

    That has ended methinks.
    Now where's that "Get Out of Crash Free Card"

    Thanks for looking BillyCool, but I'd already spotted that.

    It's for my grandson. Since I bought the emtb in Jan this year, I'm not using the 2017 Whyte T130C RS. I thought I'd buy an XS frame and transfer the kit across and then sell the large frame. I had a good chat with a Whyte dealer and he told me that I'd be better off selling it and using the money to buy him a bike with the proceeds. It seems that high spec good condition used T130's are in demand. Who knew?

    People who are looking for bargains used know!

    I lucked into my T129 frame at a good price, but Whyte are fairly well sort after, they are the twenty-teens equivalent of the Orange five at the end of the last decade.
    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.

    The Whyte dealer at Rutland Cycles told that higher spec T130s were much sought after.

    Maybe I should just sell it and use the money to buy my grandson a bike.
