Hey all needing some advice on a frame...as i cant make up my mind on what to get ive turned to you...
Frame travel 140mm, carbon/alloy, internal cabling.

Swaps? Got a jet ski in good condition...Facebook is your friend.
Trail riding.....nice long top tube with short stays and slack head angle....Wheel size? Any geo preferences?
Plenty of good frames at 140mm, just need to pin point what direction you want to go.
That's a pretty narrow range :nerd:Well that narrows it down alot.
Moorey and mitchy are in a good mood, I suggest you take advantage of that and tell em wheel size also.
Buget may also help, got $1000 or $1000, planning on 1x??? As some frames won't run a front derailleur. Colour preference also narrows it down unless you want to paint the frame yourself, loads of preference you are not listing.
That's nitpicking!That's a pretty narrow range :nerd:
Are you trying to anger me? :rant:

What options have you come up with so far in your research ?Price dosnt matter
Colour dosnt matter
1× only
27.5 only
They are the only ones that matter to me and as above, trail long and slack.
I know you said price doesn't matter but if we suggested a $12,000 ride i'm sure your gonna go tell us to shove it where the sun don't shinePrice dosnt matter

How does your list not include a spitfire? Do you even?Evil Following, Stumpjumper FSR, Yeti SB45c or SB5c, Trek Remedy, Santa Cruz Hightower, Transition Smuggler, Pyga Stage Max, etc.
The list is pretty amazing when it comes to bikes in this category, it should be more of a whittling down of what features matter to you most, and then getting a budget that fits.
I didn't want to step on your toes! And I can't do all the work!How does your list not include a spitfire? Do you even?
You chucked a pyga....you've clearly thought about it....you just failed epically...also, isn't the SB 45c (4.5?) a 29?I didn't want to step on your toes! And I can't do all the work!
Zac! Tell me more about your ride on it compared to your stumpy and 66. Have been interested in this frame.Should add the Banshee Phantom to the mix, that thing is a weapon!
