Help me search for the right frame

[safreek]

Hi guys, as you know I have a fetish for single pivotty looking bikes. Just wondering if you could give me the names of some frames that may be similar to a Cannondale prophet. Must be with a 1.5 headline.
Please help me expand my search.
So far all I have is the prophet and el guapo.
Needs to have the similar shock orientation, going upward.
Thanks for any help, they probably aren't all that common

When there can be only one...the Santa Cruz Bullit.

You are correct, a very wise person just informed me of them

I may shed the patriot+ with a bit of coaxing. Just too many unridden oranges.

Though, I do want to race it at an upcoming retro DH...

I would like something like that but at the moment I really want a 140 to 160 travel. Cheers for the offer though

 

[moorey]

160, you say?

Those oranges keep popping up like magic mushrooms. Where is this forest??

Buninyong....

The whole neighbourhood sounds like a BHP freight train is rolling through when Moorey gets his fleet out

Luckily @Hipstar never rides or there might be an earthquake.

@safreek is worried an old Bullit frame is too pricey. Not sure if those will come in budget @Zaf

This top cap would expand your search to frames with 44mm upper headtube, but it ain't cheap (looking at ~$140)!!

I would certainly buy that frame if it was around my budget, and would take the 1.5 steerer

Not Single Pivot, but worthwhile entry to this little list.

That third one looks pretty sweet. May be a tad past my limit

On most bikes? If it did work it certainly would make the search easier ( or harder)

44mm upper (or entire headtube) is way more common would make your dilemma harder but your search for a suitable bike easier.
You would still need an appropriate lower cup so it isn't necessarily a cheap option...

Only about $4k.
