I took a bit of a battering at times on my ride yesterday and got around to thinking about getting a cheap 2nd hand frame to swap in for my hardtail when I want to switch around a little. Mind immediately went to the Giant Anthem but wondered what else people would recommend? I have a trail bike so this is purely for XC.

All I want to have to do is swap over the forks, wheels cranks etc (probably would leave the mechs and shifters where they are) hence the travel restriction.

Should have said, the less pricy end of the market would be best 😉
