I have a load of parts sitting around and want to build a cheap bike around my 130mm fork.

I have 2 160mm fs bikes and want a more Xc bike that is still a little playful but climbs and does long days comfortably. I know nothing about ht bikes. Just under 6 ft tall and short legs, long torso so a longer top tube medium usually fits well.

Thanks for ideas to look at.

Got be a second hand Soul.

But, a 130mm fork works ok on a standard Inbred if your not a badge snob.

Medium soul…

Still some “cheap” ones left from their old stock i think, or S/H…

same proportions & height as you – medium size prince albert does me fine

Soul

Ragley piglet if you can stand the colour scheme. 18″ should be spot on for you.

What wheel size?

Most certainly a Soul. Medium or large, I’m not sure.

Medium prince Albert for definate, get the 853 one if you can. Amazing bike.

26 inch wheels.
