Allright here it goes - Looking to take a trip from My HT to full Sus and need a frame. Thinking Short Travel either 4" or 5"
The HT is well speced with full XT/XTR group inc brakes and I have a set of Reba's Just back from Warrenty replacement. I am looking for a frame to complement this setup so i can if i wish just throw the parts back and forward and keep cost down .. I ride XC, decent Trail centre and commute .. Due to my living arangements i dont have the space to store two bikes so its gotta be a real do it all bike.

I have been looking for a Cube AMS Frame but no joy so far what else can you recomend and what have you got for sale ??

I went to my first FS frame in a turner flux - no regrets - it pedals and climbs better than my hard tail with no bob at all.

The suspension uses bushings and has zerk grease points, so seems to be the least maintenance option for a properly active system (not single pivot).

You can pick up the 2009 frames for about £1200. Turner customer service is excellent and the forum on mtbr.com is informative.

My 2p.

How tall are you?

We have a couple of Chumba VF2 frames going at very good prices.

We have a large ano red with RP23 for £699 and a small powder coated white with DHX air for £799

The white pictured below is a medium with RP23 not a small with DHX air 🙂
