I think I’m after the moon on a stick but I’ll give it ago.
I want to try a full sus bounce as my last one was back in 1998 and it put me off!
I have everything bar the frame including some 150mm fox 34s and am on the hunt for a cheap second hand frame but not to sure what to look for……..oh my budget is £350 so pretty tight
Had a look at be Saracen Kili flyer which looks good and come in under budget but it’s a bit short at 120mm
Any ideas? I’m not brand fussy

Oh, I should probably mention what it’s for, gonna be used for essex trails, so pretty tame, some aggressive XC and Wales trips

On one Codeine 650b under £600 at moment, if your quick.

So about double the OP’s stated budget?

Kili flyer always reviews well but 150mm may be too much for the front. Can you reduce the travel on them?

There’s a 2014 27.5 transition bandit frame on pinkbike at the minute for 375

No connection to me btw

Crc have an ex demo vitus escarpe for about £300 at the moment, might be worth a look.

All good suggestions, I’ll go take a look.
Yes travel is easily adjusted on the fork

There’s a 650b Boardman full sus frame on eBay for £175 buy it now but it needs a shock
Still might come in under budget.
Not mine buy the way

The kili is a great bike by all accounts. Just check if it’s the model that had the issue with bushings lasting no time at all

Checked out the bandit but it’s really short. As for the boardman, I guess I am a bit of a brand snob!
Thinking I’ll save up and spend a bit nicer, don’t need it till summer

I ride a Kili Flyer x as my main bike with 130mm forks up front, ride similar stuff to you, Swinley, Surrey hills, local xc.
Keep up with my riding mate on a Carbon Mondraker foxy on the downs, only fitness that holds me back uphill!

Edit: no issue with bushings on my 2015 model, 900 miles, and 8 months so far.
