So, I’m looking for ideas.
It has to be 26″ 150mm travel with a tapered head tube and preferably with a 142×12 bolt thru rear. FS or HT
Do ya best, ta

Dartmoor Hornet or Primal…

I like the name.

Budget?

Love my Liteville 301.

Up to £2300 for frame and shock……

I reckon you’ll be struggling for choice on the 26″ thing unless you buy new old stock.

Banshee Spitfire with the 26″ dropouts, then you have a 650b ready frame for the future. 🙂

Banshee Spitfire
Liteville 301
Knolly Endorphin
Ibis Mojo HD (140mm option)

Wait for the Cotic Rocket to finally appear (although I suspect that’s why you started the thread).

Edit:
Evil Uprising
Transition Bandit/Covert
Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon Evo 26

Specialized Stumpjumper FSR Expert Carbon Evo 26 Frame 2014 from Freeborn @ £2,199.99*. Might as well get the best eh?

* Comes with shock and a dropper.

Ooooo the Knolly looks good. As does the Evil.
I have seen CRC are doing Nukeproof Mega TRs for under £700. Anyone know owt about them?

I’m looking for a stop-gap while I wait to see if the Rocket26 appears.

Thank you all…..

There are plenty of Nukeproof Mega users on here. A bit of searching should get you some owner reviews.
I was always annoyed they didn’t come with Pikes (compared to the AMs), but if you’re using your own, then that goes away.

£700 seems fair.
