Any good deals out there for a non-boost 29er HT frame?

Other suggestions for a non-boost 29er XC frame? I know they're dying out, but I have a brand new Acros XC hub set lying around, and sus forks are cheap to get.

Trifox do a non-boost version of the frame I got recently (SDY21).  But out of interest, why do you want non-boost?

There is abolutely no reason for buidling a non-boost hardtail at the start of 2026. Almost. I have this set of top notch non boost xc hubs from Acros waiting to get laced and as they come with HG10 freehub body which is 24.9mm instead 26.75mm like the HG11 road freehub body it does't make sense to use theses hubs for a street/gravel wheel set as there is only one Shimano 11-speed road cog in 11-34 that fits this freehub body ;-(

Thanks to everyone here.
I made up my mind. It would be pretty senseless to build a new bike around an outdated set of hubs.

Happy new year to all of you!
