That rather depends on what your budget is...

Now... does tomhoward have a wide and varied selection of frames he's just dying to share with the OP, or, is he just having a bit of a dig for the sake of it...

If OP replies with budget he's got his his "Budget Full-Suspension Frame" will we never hear from tomhoward again.

Couple of options here - starting at £300 or so for a FS Cube with 140mm travel - no shock though..

Don't know if this qualifies as budget, but...

Not sure if this classes as budget but I can recommend these as I have one, superb frames and ride so well.

Needs a shock but guess you could find a monarch cheapish somewhere?

If you want a 29er they have a package for £800 - frame / shock / fork / reverb dropper. Although the fork is only a sektor.

Most of the other frames I can find are over £800 with a shock.

Hasn't that radon Swoop frame been for sale for ages - has quite a large dent in it.

Also, isn't the Swoop 170mm travel?

From looking in the classifieds I believe that swoop belongs to chakaping, of this parish...

I have a Turner Sultan frame for sale for £375. 29" wheels, think it's about 110-120mm at the back, and I ran with 140mm pikes up front. Has a Fox RP23 shock.

Got offset bushings in it to get headangle about 1.5 degrees slacker.

Boutique frame - budget price!

Nope, we aren't allowed to ask questions, apparently...

@P-Jay: these bike-discount Cube Stereo frames are great.

There is a totally new 2018 Stereo - that's why they sell these 2017 frames so low.

The Stereo 140 HPA is a great bike (some pals in our biking group have this bike). Have quite some bike projects going on - but might buy such a 140 mm frame. Thanks!

@P-Jay, just ordered:

0.36 k

https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube-stereo-150-hpa-sl-27.5-frame-blue-n-flashred-692676?currency=3&delivery_country=190

I know the Stereo 140 pretty well and like it very much - but decided to go for the Stereo 150 HPA 27.5+ frame (frame size 20"). Have already a 130/130 bike. The HPA 150 27.5+ will be something new for me...

Ordered this 150 mm FOX fork as well:

0.3 k

https://www.bike-components.de/en/Fox-Racing-Shox/34-Float-27-5-150-Remote-Grip-Rhythm-Boost-Suspension-Fork-2017-OEM-p61611/

Great 150 mm full suspenion frame and great Fox fork. Will be my first "Plus" bike...

150 mm frame and 150 Fox fork, both for less than 0.7 k (total) is fantastic. Will use low cost 2x10 Deore with the bike (mountain goat set up front 24+34, rear 11...42).

Thanks for the link!

Cheers
