I've been looking at switching from hardtail to full suss but it's really difficult to justify any real expense at the moment.
Anyway, it occurred to me that I could "just" buy a second hand frame and shock and use my existing bike as a donor. It's a Felt RXC Elite with an ok spec but I'm worried that it might be a bit fragile for the use it gets (carbon seat stays look good though). I suppose the most important part of the spec is the fork which is a Tora 318 air fork (currently 80mm travel but I think it can be adjusted up to 120mm).
Any suggestions for a frame that would work well with the fork. I'm not looking for some downhill behemoth, I'm more interested in XC leaning bikes that I can use at Afan and Penmachno without shaking my fillings out, but will still feel good to pedal and climb with.
Anyway, what do you think? Good/bad Idea? Any suggestions?
Thanks
