Looking for a nice FS frame around £900.

Any deals on anywhere? Any recommendations?
Thanks and merry christmas!

Get yourself a low-ish spec Giant Trance X or Reign in the sales and flog off the bits you don't want.

It'll come in well under £900 by the time you've got a bit of money back and they're really good bikes.

A few places are doing them, Paul's Cycles are usually cheapest.

If you can be bothered importing from the US, shipping will probably be around £100ish not sure how the tax works out but a new 575 for £700 + costs, baaargain!!

On the subject of Titus's...

Ive a Titus FTM frame up for sale (its titus's replacement for the motolite) Hydroformed front triangle,carbon seatstays. carbon rocker link.

bought and built up 9 months ago - frame cost £1699 then.

Its black anodised - Size medium (im 6'and run a 80mm stem), frame weight including RP23 is 5.5lbs.

very lightly used, bit of cable rub on seatstays,no dents/scratches, being anodised it comes uplike new.

Id let it go for £900inc postage(and throw in the black Chris King headset (cost £90)that i fitted when purchasing the frame) Ive a titanium hardtail frame in mind for the new year 🙂

currently the frames still builtup,but it looks identical to this...

Wow.
I've been offered Ventana, Lapierre, Titus, Yeti. All beautiful bikes but I have reserved a brand spanking new Knolly Endorphin in ano grey, full warranty with a fox RP23BV for £900 which is half price. Chris is a very nice guy as beagle said.
A little heavier than I'm used to but at least I won't break it! TBH, I was very very tempted by the Lappy and the Ventana but really wanted a new frame.

Thank you Anthony, very nice of you to say so.
That Titus is a very nice looking bike, out of interest why are you selling it?
On another note, I think Chris at riding high has another medium Endorphin left at that price (med, black ano).

I fancy a change for the new year, and as the trails ive been riding really havent required a full sus, so was looking at getting a titanium hardtail, which i could still race SIS and mountain mayhem on. Have fun on the Knolly!
