I’m just playing around with the idea at the moment but I may be in the market sometime soon for a new hardtail frame to fit a 160mm Lyrik R coil fork.
I’m after something cheapish, new but doesn’t have to be this year’s model, that can be ridden on trail centre type trails for a morning without completely killing me.
Would most likely be transferring most of the bits from my current hooligan hardtail. Tapered/44mm headtube is essential, as is 26″ wheel fitting.
As I’m only thinking about it at he moment price isn’t a huge factor but the cheaper the better is preferred, <£300 would be marvelous, much less would be perfect (yes, I’m a tightwad).
Was originally thinking about something like a 456 but the forks are slightly too long for it.
Any other suggestions?
