I'm using a cheap old 29er trekking/mtb alu frame that came with a huge suspension fork.
I slapped a 400mm A-C fork on there and have super twitchy handling now, as well as pedal strike because of the lowered BB. Also the seattube angle got quite ridiculous. I'd like to try and slacken things up a bit without spending too much money.
Proper polo frame & disc brake are coming later.
Edit:
Disc brakes wouldn't be so bad, but I'd need a front wheel, a fork and a disc brake with a right hand lever (lefty here), which alltogether hurts my budget a lot...
