ok, so I built up a 2002 GT Ruckus with modern components [2012 XT / disk brakes] but its not as fun as I thought so.....thinking of getting a modern frame for 26" and just swapping over the components, my question is on this and similar [not many choices for 26] what travel in mm shock fork should I use?, I am thinking of this frame: https://www.randombikeparts.com/product ... ht-red-new
I have a 2012 Rockshox Reba RLT at 120mm on the GT and I have the spacers to reduce it to 100mm if needed......it's 1-1/8" and this frame is ready for that size, though I an aware I can get reducers or step headset to use it on a tapered headtube as some of the frames are built, not an issue to pick up what I need.
I have emailed Battaglin Cicli Srl but have not gotten a response yet,
also posted in the 26er section of mtbr forum but so far no real answer other than pick a frame with specs, but the truth is most available 26er frames don't say much about fork travel ...I think I ran across three or four when I googled them...
also asked the frame seller but they were quick to respond with a "we don't have that info" email so, again its in the wind
