Hi,

Looking for a 29er frame - bonus it if comes with rigid fork - for a ‘adventure’ style rigid MTB (Essentially a Dad bike). Something like genesis fortitude or Cotic Solaris or Salsa El mariachi

Size 16-17” - to suit my 5-7” stature!

Steel preferred, but open to options

Not looking to spend more than 250

Ta.

Ah, now I feel bad about my dicking about.

Keep an eye on old voodoo wangas with the sliding dropouts. I picked one up for pennies and ran 29 x 2.25. Clearance not ideal if you want to get muddy but rode pretty well for summer off road duties. BB height was reasonable

Haha, post me the Casseroll and all is forgiven 😂

I have run 27.5 in a 2004 explosif in the past but the BB did come up a bit. I’ll likely run big 27.5 in the frame ultimately

Apologies for that, too, but I must own all of the Salsas

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
