If you had £1000 to spend on a new frame what would you get??
must work with a 150mm fork
send me some links to frames
or let me know if you have any new frames for sale

tbh I can't really see past a Titus FTM or El Guapo. Well within budget but pre-selling to on-one were more out of budget than within (~£1700+)
All from on-one
Titus FTM alu. is a bit steep in the HA so Id be look to fit from new a works components angle slackening headset to get it to normal or slackish angles
Titus FTM carbon is very light, but afaik you can't slacken the HA
Titus El Guapo with a fat/external lower cup headset will work with a 150mm fork. BB height is a touch low but you'll get used to it where its tricky and benefit in the bends
[I've a V2 (steeper one) with a 150mm 20mm fork and fat lower cup h/set and I like it. Keep thinking about slackening it to the newer
angles but still haven't]
EDIT: Didn't realise £2600 S-works stumpys had come down that low. I'd defo be tempted. Though given the spesh warranty I'd not want to be voiding it with too longer a fork? [or selling it on] I don't know if its 140mm or 150mm but defo check first, with it being the S-works carbon (10m?)* version
Please somebody help this trader find another frame.

Thanks james
youve given me a clear and concise answer to my question.which is what i was after.
.
i been looking at the El Guapos for a little while, as my brother bought one a few months back, hes had to buy a longer fork and shorter cranks to get over the low BB issue. but he says its the best bike hes bought.
ive been keeping an eye on ON ONE website for a while and they keep pushing back when they are going to be back in stock...
will try and be patient....lol.....:)
El Guapo 29ers arrive late Jan/Mid Feb so I'd imagine the 26ers will be arriving then too.

"hes had to buy a longer fork and shorter cranks to get over the low BB issue"
Had to? Its not that bad
Even with a leaking 150mm Rockshox (and 175mms) 0mines only really a problem if I drop the U-turn down to 120/130mm and ride up rutted stuff
Bikescene have deals on Stumpjumper Evos & Pitch frames that are well under your budget.
CRC have some deals on Commencal frames.
Merlin have some Mondraker frames but the best deal is Nick's brand new warranty replacement Foxy frame on the classifieds.
Mondraker foxy rr frames at merlins cycles is a good deal at the moment. £900 at checkout.
There were plenty of brand new covert frames about for around 1k. Love mine.
