Can anyone recommend where I could buy a 27.5 full suspension XC frame from please? Hard tails are 10 to the dozen but FS frames seem to be a much rarer beast.

Thanks

Depends if it comes with a shock or not really. £750-1250.

What size? I've got a small sized Boardman FS that is no longer needed which I should probably sell at some point.

I really like on-ones stuff.

They do a 650b version of their full suspension codeine frame.

It can often be better value to buy the whole bike second hand than buy the frame on it's own new.

eg: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2014-Giant-Trance-2-Enduro-Trail-650b-27-5-Evolve-Cycles-Reverb-dropper-/262907844843?hash=item3d368758eb:g:se0AAOSwXYtY1EO6

What make and model are you after?

Suspension travel?

Do you have forks, wheels and groupset ready to fit?

Chain Reaction is worth a look, as is Wiggle or Planet X

I'd transfer all the equipment from my current frame into the new one. Forks are probably something I'd be glad to upgrade from my current Rockshox air suspension with 110 travel. 140-160 travel would be ideal.

I've got a set of Hope hub and rims ready to fit from my old bike too. If I bought that bike I'd have to do the work of moving everything over and left with a load of spares afterwards.

Having said that, a dropper post would be tarty. Laughing
