[#468760]

We're off (again) to Scotland at the end of May and I'd like to surprise my mrs with a nice hardtail frame. She loves her 14" Orange 5, but is looking for a (lighter) hardtail to complement it. She's got a Rockhopper that's too small (it's 13" or something) so I plan to swap the decent bits off that.

What do you lot suggest?

I'm just happy you included the word "frame" in the title.

Thanks everyone! A Ti Whyte would be nice, but yes there's a budget....perhaps I'll look at a 19.

IF - Independent Fabrications? I assume you have one Foxychick? What size are you running?
