A couple of weeks ago I bought a pristine condition used large Silverback Slade Trail, but it really is miles too big for me. I've been looking for a used small trail hardtail build for a while now but haven't had much luck, and used small frames seem even more difficult to come by.
The Slade I bought came with really nice components (for a new rider anyway) so I'm considering keeping the components and looking at just replacing the frame.
I've looked at the following:
Commencal Meta HT (a bit too pricey and no small size available on their site)
Trek Roscoe (may consider this depending on how much I can get for my Slade frame)
Momsen STR/STF (doesn't support the 140mm fork I have already)
Rapide Tigre (no small size)
Any suggestions as to what else I could look at in that category? I'm 1.66m and would like a bike I can throw around quite easily so I'd prefer not to upsize if I can avoid it.
Many thanks!
