BIG BOUNCY (or maybe not) FRAME NEEDED ASAP

[wookiee]

@Wookie

What's the sizing on these? How big was yours?

Right well Marin measure centre to centre so a 19" is more like a 21" and a 17.5" more like a 19"...The one I rode at Mayhem was a Marin 19" and I didn't have the post up that far. Given our similar sizing I would say a 19" would suit you... at the price that Mount Vision went for you could have sold off the parts and probably effectively got the frame for free. Or if you had it as a complete bike they are kitted out with XT anyway.

So a 19" across the board with Marin FS then would be about right? that makes a difference will trawl again for 19 been looking for bigger

I have this Titus frame.

Size from bb to top of the seat tube is approx 17".
I'm 6ft2" and it fitted me quite well.

Comes with cane creek headset at 1 1/8th

I do have some manitou forks too. Think they're "blacke elite"

I'm in Perth Western Australia. But don't mind shipping and it's not as expensive as you may think.
I've had frames delivered from the UK and have recently sent a Klein Adroit to Holland too.

Thanks,

If you want cheap, see if on-one have any 456s in stock in the 21" size. That'll take up to a 6" fork. And look like a 5 bar gate too. ;o)

Bigger!

And thinking hard tail preferably or full bouncy but I'm big and heavy so coil might not be a good choice I'm told.

Might have this one for sale... Frame only....

Thanks Doug but can't afford that. What about this oh Marin master? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121231294579? ... 1438.l2649

B17 is still light, would be ok if a bit bouncy for general riding. Great bikes. This one is way too small for you, i'm 6 2 ish and rode a 21" of these, this is a 18" or 19" I guess, you'd really struggle to fit it to be honest.

This is listed as a 19" but looks bigger. May just be the forks jacking it up a bit:

This would be better, might be able to swap your rear shock over depending on size. Can sell the race face cranks for £30 or so too.
