Large (20/21") frame and maybe forks

[Antstark]

Looking for a more modern frame for my bro in law. He is 6ft 3 so needs something on the large size

He has got a Kinesis Maxlight at the moment so I am looking for something in that kind of quality bracket but open to anything really

Frame...or frame and forks considered. Hard tail preferred really as its me that will end up looking after it.

Now here's the rub.....it has to be Black or Grey :roll:

Wot ya got folks

Check out my Curtis!

It's in a rather fetching Howies blue though and is lurvely quality steel.
Light too!

when you say more modern, are you looking for a carbon 29er?

 

[Antstark]

Ideally I just want to swap over the parts he has..mainly xt m770 and 26" Rolf wheels.

What's wrong with the existing frame?

Which type of brakes are you looking to use?

and how much are you looking to spend?

Are you looking for another alu alloy frame or something else?

Are you looking for different geometry to the maxlight? the ability to run longer forks etc...

more clues required...

one of these maybe?

Nothing..it was nos..but it's only 19.5 " so slightly small

Which type of brakes are you looking to use? It's got vs at the moment but not fussed as can switch

and how much are you looking to spend?

Depends what's available...guess up to £200 ish

Running 100mm would be fine

Final question of the evening...

What do you consider comparable quality to the max light?

853 steel? something ti?

 

[Antstark]

853 steel is good...I am really open to anything at the moment.

Cheers
