[Closed] Which ht frame for a 130mm fork?

I have a load of parts sitting around and want to build a cheap bike around my 130mm fork.

I have 2 160mm fs bikes and want a more Xc bike that is still a little playful but climbs and does long days comfortably. I know nothing about ht bikes. Just under 6 ft tall and short legs, long torso so a longer top tube medium usually fits well.

Thanks for ideas to look at. :mrgreen:

Got be a second hand Soul.

But, a 130mm fork works ok on a standard Inbred if your not a badge snob.

Ragley piglet if you can stand the colour scheme. 18" should be spot on for you.

Most certainly a Soul. Medium or large, I'm not sure.
