Grease_Monkey Posted May 4, 2021 Share I figured 48k was close enough...budgets are always flexi somewhat For that, I’d also stretch! If there was stock last year when I was buying a frame I would have bought one... Thermophage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted May 4, 2021 Share The problem with building a bike, is that there are very little new frames available that are not the top of line versions. So you end up looking for second hand frames if you don't want to pay dentist bike money. Bundu Ric 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edge_Design Posted May 4, 2021 Share This is my first choice if they have stock in your size (I bought it and love it) - https://www.giant-bicycles.com/za/trance-advanced-pro-29-frameset You won't get better value than that for a frameset with a top end shock jck81 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundu Ric Posted May 4, 2021 Share That is not bad looking nor badly priced either!.

splat Posted May 4, 2021 Share Ibis RipleyPivot Trail 429 Add to that list:Tallboy 4Transition SpurTY IzzoYeti SB 115 or 130 But I think that those are all R75k frames There is a Ripmo, Mega Tower and SB 130 frame here on our own Classifieds that might be up for negotiation...

Bundu Ric Posted May 4, 2021 Share Pivot stock is non-existent, as per feedback from Pivot they will probably not ship out frames until 2023. Ibis RipleyPivot Trail 429 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bundu Ric Posted May 4, 2021 Share Contemplating just going to the Tallboy route now after the endless searches coming up dry in terms of stock or sizing. After my Specialized experience that is scrapped of the list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
