30.9 or 31.6 seat tube
66 or 67 degree head angle
71 ish seat angle

Let me go off and do the research for you 😀
I'll be as quick as I can! 😛
cheers al - seeing as you don't ride a bike you may as well google for me 😉
Is this a quiz? Pretty dull if yes 😉
Edit: can I use my wildcard and say dialled pa 29?
What size wheels? Like al I really want to help
full sus 26" wheels
Well spotted Rob :love:
I'd go steeper on the seat angle on full suss TBH.
I know.
I'm not going to tell you, though.
Lots
Do I win a prize?
The most (in)famous one is folded from used filing cabinets in Yorkshire. Other alternatives are available for non Audi driving, IT working, Surrey dwelling forumites.
Marin wolf ridge/attack trail.

Orange Five, invoice in the post to you
ah so we suggest stuff and you roll your eyes at us
I am less interested now in helping
I had some suggestions but don't want to say now in case the OP ridicules me with the rolly eyes thing....
Ideally i would want to slacken my ftm by 2 degrees but their is no way 🙁
Bionicon 😀
LOL
If the problem is that no one makes a frame with exactly your required geometry, ask yourself "why"?
i thought the FTM was the bees knees, are you Hora?
TRc running 140s isnt far off..
Err no. The OP is obviously rich.
I dont get the 'must have a slackset' as soon as brant went back to on one.
Fit offset bushes and/or a shorter i-to-i shock if you must.

I dont get the 'must have a slackset' as soon as brant went back to on one.
I don't get the whole "Titus are great" just because on one bought them out. The brand failed because they didn't make good bikes. They may be cheap now, but they're still not good bikes (although the FTM isn't bad, the EG is an utter dog).
rd - love the ftm but wish 2 degrees slacker
Careful I typed 'brant'. He will pop up soon selling frames on this topic 😆
Whats wrong with the el guapo??? Bikeradar loved it just like the ti456 before!!

An attack trail/wolf ridge?
Its fits every one of your criteria, and you didn't like it.
You sure you know what you actually want?

Have I missed out on the "2012 Trail Bike" Top Trumps as well as Rob?
😛
jackal - yes- not a ****ing marin!
My first 146 was replaced due to the paint around the BB, structurally it was fine, replacement has been perfect and I cant feel any flex when riding although I have read about it.
Like the look of that Sukuma
Yeti 575.
I do not live in Surrey or own an Audi.
(BMW and Harrogate, is that worse?)
Sukuma...for those that want a boutiqued-2009 specialized stumpjumper.
that is not more than 7lb

Nukeproof mega tr?
titus made some cracking bikes includig quasimoto and supermoto really class bike the supermoto slight paint issue but rode fab.
El guapo similiar was a great design.......and probably still is...not sure on bb.
for question
Yeti asr 7 with coil rear shock
Mmmmmm still a 575....
Well the Sukuma appears to be far too... [i] gauche[/i] for some of the more discerning members on here, so how about the Pivot Mach 5.7?
i give in whats the answer
and as for previous threads picking a bike based solely on angles and numbers will not lead to happiness
Slack long travel and short wheelbase
Mmmmm wheel toe interface or taller than the empire state.
Would want a long wheel base really - ideally 45"+
Ibis Ripley
Nicolai Helius AC or the AM fit both those bills.
OP drop me an email (address is in my profile). Rather sadly I have a spreadsheet where I've been collecting this kind of data and have it laid out against bike make and model.
Bikescene have a Stumpjumper EVO frame for 699 however its XL.

Low BB at 13.5"
Looks like apart from the standover and 1 degree at the head angle the FTM carbon is pretty spot on - HMMMM
Any way to slacken it
Try contacting works components?
They can't do anything as the frame is the headset cup
Rob,
I've successfully slackened my FTM by 1.5 degrees using a beautifully made (therefore expensive) custom off-set headset that presses into frame very securely. Sadly, I only rode it once before noticing an unrelated crack in the frame. Have to send it to on-one now (from Australia) for warranty - urgh.
Anyway - PM me if this interests you.
I can't count the amount of times I've ridden a bike and all I could think of was "I wish this head angle was 2 degrees slacker"
