I'm looking for a keenly priced frameset:

Hei Hei
Yeti SB100/SB115
Tallboy
Spearfish

Large
29" Boost
Budget £500ish

A spearfish came available but the price was a bit high for me at the moment. But it's got me obsessing now.....

What's out there?

Trek Stache?

Should have mentioned, full sus.

there are some really fancy bikes on pinkbike classified: I want that bloke’s turquoise transition down country bike, i think i saw a yeti and a scott that might be interesting as frame options

I've messaged a few folk on there to see if they are up for splitting. No dice yet. Not seen the Scott...

If you can stretch your budget, and don't give a shit about warranties, this can be yours for not a lot of monies:

Ta, It did cross my mind. But I can't stretch that far especially for no warranty and also I'm carbon curious for this build....

No sweat. If you find a carbon full sus frame for under £500, let me know where I can get one too!

I know. You can take the boy out of yorkshire...

I've found a Hei Hei CR for £650 and a Spearfish for £700. I just need to see how my tax return stacks up...

So, spearfish and Hei Hei slipped out of my hands as I was stalling with my tax. I've got a slightly healthier budget for the right frame but can't find much.
