Downcountry recommendation
« on: November 04, 2024, 05:41:51 PM »
There are so many frames with tons of redundancy. Hard to find what I want. I’m looking for a frame that is 120 mm rear travel. The Sp-cycle M861 is intriguing but I’m scared about how light it is. It ticks the boxes though on head tube angle(65-67deg), travel and stack/reach. I’m also looking at Tanya’s sports fm-198. I have two of their frames and they have been great. Any other frames I should look at?

It is almost exactly a year since I built this. Not very well known here. I like it a lot: https://chinertown.com/index.php/topic,4524.0.html

I found spcycle difficult to deal with. If you want a no risk option, look at Carbonda - they are excellent.

I like two of the carbonda frame but the shipping is a bit steep. Plus a 4% PayPal fee. Waiting to here from Mira about the frame cost and shipping. Thanks for the tip!

The Light carbon 918 and 917 are lower priced than Carbonda and well respected. Their frames are smaller though so make sure you fit.
