reggiegasket - the bfe would be the obvious choice. the thing is should you always go for the obvious choice? I have a BFe and in this case I cant think of anything I'd rather have. I have 150 revs on mine and it's lovely ๐Ÿ™‚ So yes, you should just get a BFe and save yourself time looking at a lot of inferior frames only to come back to where you started!

If your going to put a 160mm fork on a hardtail frame make it a frame designed for a 160mm fork... rather than a frame which can take one but completely ruins the geometry.

I didn't like my Ragley Mmmbop with a fork longer than 140mm as the bottom bracket became too high and seatangle too slack, so I bought a Ragley Troof which is designed for a 160mm fork... it's awesome ๐Ÿ˜ˆ
