Looking at bulding myself a cheap XC race bike. Was thinking of giving one of the cheap chinese frames a go. Anyone had an experince with them or could recommend one?
If these are your size you may be better off with one of these https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/cube-reaction-hpa-sl-29-side-swing-frame-black-n-blue-692540
Or if a L Cube frame fits you buy my Reaction GTC frame for less. (Blatantly a stealth ad)...
New Scandal? Only £150 if you preorder and use a code according to the OO Instagram.

Good shout but not really race geo? Needs longer fork too.
I've just sold an older Pinnacle Ramin frame that would have been perfect - they are relatively light and ride well, they turn up on eBay.
I have a reaction gtc. Its my adventure bike, but builds really light and is kust brilliant with some Travers Prong rigid forks. I would recommend it as a brilliant HT or rigid.
I had a Reaction GTC last year and did my only XC race on it. Has the potential to build really light and it was very quick and capable too!
Handled a 45 mile Dales ride on some rocky terrain no problem too.
