After realising that yesterday i paid off my student loans i have some spare cash 🙂

The idea of another frame came to light 🙂

Pre-requisites are:
120-150mm rear travel (not adjustable)
30.9+ seat tube
67-68 head angle
steepish seat angle for climbing
22.5 top tube

Under £1k for the frame

Shop must do 12 months 0% finance

Heckler

Np Mega? (Available just in time for drier weather..)

trek EX, full floater design is excellent and i’ve tried 4 bar and single pivot before, i can’t compare it to VPP though as i’ve not tried it

Canyon outlet section of the website has some really cheap stuff going, seems to get some great reviews for their frames.

might be worth a look for a bargin. 2009/2010 frames are crazy cheap

The Canyons are not really floating my boat 🙁

I suppose what i am after is a frame like m y old prophet but with a 30.9 seat tube. Apart from a heckler i can’t think of anything under £1k

I suppose a Prophet again and a 27.2 dropper post (that isn’t a gravity dropper) would be perfect!

Pace RC405 seems to fit your spec well and can be had for £999 on CRC or Wiggle are knocking them out with BB and headset for £1099 – quite tempted myself

chumba!

Tomac Snyper half price on CRC?

Zesty frame off eBay?

I’m not the seller but pretty rare opportunity to get a frame only so thought I’d mention it.

Why not this one? only £750 for this sexy beast

We love lapierre do zesty frames sometimes, they offered me one for £850 a couple of months ago.
