As the title sates dont wanna buy a full bike as i have good spec parts already to swap across.

Been looking at the Giant XTC or Kona Kula any help would be great????

Similar feel to the Kona apparently – what about the Merlin / Rock Lobster TIG Team SL

Easton Ultralite tubing, £300 with current 40% off deal = £180.

lordy thats a great price for a lovely frame !

Kinesis Maxlight XC Pro 2. Great frame, think you can just sneak one for £300

NS SOCIETY (cough)

merlin malt 4 anyone?

Merlin’s Rock Lobster 853 is a penny under £300 at the moment…

just got a gt zaskar off ebay and its a great frame

just an idea,
if you go for the giant or kona,
why not buy a complete bike and strip it down, and then sell all the unwanted bits
i think it makes more sense money wise,
kona kula
giant xtc
definitely makes sense in the giants case,

more than likely you’ll have sizing issues with parts if you are swapping things over, this way you know you’ll have everything you need

I have a polished Specialized S Works M5 frame size m 17/18 ish in top condition. Want £200 for it.

Wiggle has 30% off charge frames at the moment.

Kenesis Maxlite (100mm forks) or if you have slighly longer forks go for the XC120 (which I have and is ace)

I have an immaculate 2006 17.5″ Rocky Mountain Blizzard (Reynolds 853 disc specific frame with rack mounts) for sale complete with Salsa seat clamp.

Yours for £300
