Large full sus XC frame / bike - 100mm travel ideally

[Dead Rats]

A friend is pondering a bike change, so what's out there? Prefer frame only but bike considered.

Looking for something lightweight to suit a 100-120mm fork, with standard 1 1/8" headtube and normal 135mm back end (as most of the other parts are coming from his own bike)

Interested in late 2000s Stumpy FSRs, or WHY? Not interested in AM / FR monsters though, just a sweet XC trail rider.

Got a 2003 Yeti ASR in large with shock upgrade to rp23 I've had stripped for a while & might sell. Takes 100mm fork, very light and great riding frame.

Some quick pics from my mobile. Needs a clean & the downtube is mostly covered in copter tape. Only fault is that one of the spring tabs on the vbrake mounts is snapped off from a clumsy effort to put it on a bike rack, so disc brake only now.

Got the matching Yeti arc stem, seatpost & Yeti WTB saddle too!

I'll probably clean it all up on Saturday

Weird, I can see them on my mobile bu on my PC they only show up if I'm logged in.

Added the same pics to my gallery on here instead.
