Looking for a new frame to build up a bike for trips to Afan, BPW and other centres. My main bike is really focused on xc and hence is built light with carbon rims etc. and only 100mm travel. Although I’m sure this will be fine at BPW, I will constantly worry about the rims so I want to throw together a more burly bike build with approx. 130-140mm travel. Got to be a 29er as this really works for me and suits my style. Although I would love carbon I think for now alloy would be the more sensible option.
Short list is;
On-one Codeine
Switchback Unveil 9
Stumpjumper
Codeine and Unveil are very close in price when building with the Rockshox Monarch, about £600. Stumpy obviously isn’t yet available in frame only so probably not a serious option right now.
Anyone riden both the Codeine and one of the Switchback versions, Thumper, 130x, Unveil9?
BTW, looking for a Large size frame if anyone has anything to offer 🙂
Cheers,
Andy
