Want to get a light weight full suspension frame. Sub 6lbs ideally.

Must be £1000 or under and have 100mm to 140mm rear travel.

At the moment i'm thinking of a Santa Cruz Superlight for £899. This weighs 5.2lbs and has 100mm travel..

any other frames I should take a look at?

Thanks for your help

Won't go far wrong with a superlight. A couple of my friends have them and they make great uk trail bikes.

Notice merlin are doing a turner flux for a shade over a grand (1100). Might be worth a look.

Yeah saw the flux on merlin's site.. Its only in 19" though which would be too big for me unfortunately

selling my daughters 2010 commencal 4 in alu but it is a large, rode the demo one last year and it was excellent, and she tried orange st 4, yeti asr and anthem, she sold her superlight frame to get this one. Very comfortable and quick, lighter weight would be the carbon version.
