Requirements are 26″ small frame about 15″ (I’m a short arse) to take a 150mm forks
Budget around £700

Probably a bit too obvious an answer but this fills your spec: MEGA TR.

17″, but not sure how small Saracen size up?

This Commencal seems to fit the bill too.

I’m 5ft 5 so has to be 15″ or smaller

Consider 2nd hand? I’m selling my 2011 small nukeproof mega frame (the original version that’s good for 150mm-170mm travel forks). Great condition & comes with Fox RP23 PUSH tuned shock. I’m 5’4″ – perfect size with 50mm stem. £450 posted. Can do pics if you are interested.
Cheers.

@ ART interested in the frame YGM

Is a 650b mega a bad idea.. 26″ in 650b frame?

@ cloudnine…sorry didn’t realize I had to start my own thread to express interest in an item for sale.

I’m the same height as you are and I’m riding a 17″ Ariel. I think 15″ would feel very short.

Standard DMR Bolt? Very short standover, but still has a decently long tt.

Edit…..link to Upgrade bikes (DMR distributor, and lovely guys) an excellent deal on a basically brand new frame with shock reduced to £499. Has a paint chip on the headtube….

I have a large intense tracer 2 which im about to sell. I have the receipt to show he bearings were replaced recently and the CCDB air shock was also serviced. The colour was a custom red colour too – very pimp and rare. Looking for 800! Let me know if your interested.

I can sell you my Mega TR. Small frame alone or with 120/150 dual position Sektors, possibly as whole bike.

Frame & fork are 5 rides old & taped so immaculate, rest of kit well used but working fine.

Email if interested in any of it.
