I need to get a hard tail, well actually two- I did have a carbon on one 456 frame, that I sold to a close friend – as I thought I could do without a HT, but I can’t. Riding the full Susser everywhere isn’t doing it for me.
I can’t find a c456 frame for love nor money, unsurprisingly given its summer !!
So what else is similar to a c456 frame ? I still fancy a carbon or suitably light and strong frame that will take a 140-150 fork ?
I normally get medium size frames, in case that makes any difference.
Also need a recommendation for a HT to replace my wife’s 2009 Rockhopper and I’ve already checked upgrades to it aren’t an option Budget around the £400 mark.
Apart from a later model rockhopper, I haven’t got much idea of where to start.
Looking to the STW experts for some advice, thanks
