    Looking for opinions here.

    I might need to send my Liteville 301 in for inspection to Germany and it means I’d need something to stand for it for some time.

    Mainly looking at S/H market since the frame will probably be for sale after LV is back.

    So, ideally it needs to accept Marzocchi 55 @ 150 mm, have rear thru axle, and be pedalable too.

    Currently thinking of NP Mega, Mondraker Foxy (if I get hold of the thru-axle version), maybe Mondraker Dune.

    Any other options I’m missing out there? The thru axle requirement puts many good frames out of consideration and closes a big chunk of S/H market, but the more interesting it becomes 🙂

    Any advice (and if you have anything to offer too!!) is welcome.

    Thanks!

    I got a Saracen Ariel 140X for £350 off of EBay. I run it with Lyriks usually set at 150mm. It came with 3 sets of dropouts so you can run anything you like at the back and I took 3 1/2 minutes off my PR round Cathkin Braes last night, although admittedly that’s coming from a pretty low baseline.

    Do Prophets have a rear axle?

    Thanks for the Saracen advice, will keep an eye out for them.

    Why not use a 10mm qr? That would widen your choices.

    Because I use a set of Crossmax SX and sourcing QR adaptors I don’t have may be a pain in the a..e.

    Though I still consider it but not 100% sure.

    Right, OK, just found some thru-axle to QR adaptor on CRC.

    So good old QR is back in the game!! 🙂

    In that case have a look at Pitch’s, Enduros, Orange Patriots.

    What size are you after?

    I’ve a medium Pitch which I’m looking to swap to a large. Hardly used, shock was custom tuned by LOCO for rocky stuff and a 90kg rider.

    If anyone’s got a large/19″ tuner 6-pack, enduro, pitch, ariel, or other frame dsigned arround 160mm Lyrics, in similar condition, let me know.
