Looking for a nice FS frame around £900.
5-6" all rounder.
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.
Knolly endorphin. £900 will get you a frame from chris at riding high uk. They are due a large price hike in the new year. Excellent frame - reviewed in this months mbuk.

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...
let me know what you think 🙂
seen some new motolite frames on ebay with new fox forks inc, for £1100ish seems a good deal, worth a search maybe, EDIT £1063 plus £81 postage for new 2010frame+new 09float 140, from israel
Rutland cycles had some wolfridge frames - the new style for less than £500 - bargain!
http://www.fattreadbikes.co.uk/ had some silly cheap Titus bikes in a few weeks ago...
Ive got a 09 Lapierre Spicy here in white in great condition (few little paint chips on the bottom bracket) with headset, bottom bracket, seat post clamp fitted I would let go for £850 (plus delivery).....
the spicy frame looks the same as this one here BTW...

Oops sorry, I read 4-5" NOT, 5-6". Ignore me. but left the link in case anyone else interested 🙂
Found this yesterday, quite tempted myself if only I could get it past my S.O.!,

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.
Canfield Bros. doing Sauce and The One frames for about £850 shipped to uk.
Look on their website and contact Chris directly.
Congrats mate - great frame and that is a bargain price. Hope you enjoy it!
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).
Nice work squire! 😀
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!
that Tracer's a great deal but loving the look of that Knolly. God that's a tempting price
Pace RC405 about £860 on chainreaction until tomorrow if you use the christmas10 offer code.
Or Yeti 575 from rutland cycles only £999 (small only)
Awesome frame, rides like a 5" travel bike:
