Looking for opinions here.
I might need to send my Liteville 301 in for inspection to Germany and it means I'd need something to stand for it for some time.
Mainly looking at S/H market since the frame will probably be for sale after LV is back.
So, ideally it needs to accept Marzocchi 55 @ 150 mm, have rear thru axle, and be pedalable too.
Currently thinking of NP Mega, Mondraker Foxy (if I get hold of the thru-axle version), maybe Mondraker Dune.
Any other options I'm missing out there? The thru axle requirement puts many good frames out of consideration and closes a big chunk of S/H market, but the more interesting it becomes 🙂
Any advice (and if you have anything to offer too!!) is welcome.
Thanks!
Cannondale Prophet MX
I got a Saracen Ariel 140X for £350 off of EBay. I run it with Lyriks usually set at 150mm. It came with 3 sets of dropouts so you can run anything you like at the back and I took 3 1/2 minutes off my PR round Cathkin Braes last night, although admittedly that's coming from a pretty low baseline.
Do Prophets have a rear axle?
Thanks for the Saracen advice, will keep an eye out for them.
Prophet mx does.
Why not use a 10mm qr? That would widen your choices.
Because I use a set of Crossmax SX and sourcing QR adaptors I don't have may be a pain in the a..e.
Though I still consider it but not 100% sure.
Right, OK, just found some thru-axle to QR adaptor on CRC.
So good old QR is back in the game!! 🙂
In that case have a look at Pitch's, Enduros, Orange Patriots.
What size are you after?
I've a medium Pitch which I'm looking to swap to a large. Hardly used, shock was custom tuned by LOCO for rocky stuff and a 90kg rider.
If anyone's got a large/19" tuner 6-pack, enduro, pitch, ariel, or other frame dsigned arround 160mm Lyrics, in similar condition, let me know.
Thanks, but I'm after a Large myself.. 🙂
I reckon you should buy a hardtail back to ya roots. Specifically my large 456 evo frame 😉
🙂 🙂
Thanks for this 🙂
I thought this might be an option but really looking at suss. now.
