I'll sort some more tonight

Not weighed it yet but it feels light.

Bought from an ebay seller. Price £330 for frame forks and headset

I'm 6ft and size is 18 inch.

Just search "Carbon MTB Frame", there's dozens.

The 26" one I had came in lighter than claimed, and was delivered in less than 2 weeks.

I'm seriously considering a 26er SS build based on this thread

If you want some inspiration here was mine (with gears):

Short top tube - check the geometry carefully. As built, with Rocket Ron tyres, it was lighter than a full XX/DT XRC100/Ceramic 190 hubbed super-build Whippet!

Matt that listing gives tt length as 593mm. Would you be able to measure the ETT if you have a seatpost and get a chance, cheers

Matt - looks great, not the same as the other 29er linked is it? Doesn't look like it has a curved top tube? Do you know the frame model?

Thanks for that matt. Sounds a bit short for a six footer, I'll have it 😉
