Recommend me an AM bike around $3.5k

$3.9K gets you a *BIKE*, Hump-man.

Correct, but at *2380 for a frame alone is still some good buying.

*if it's possible to buy frame only.

It's not unfortunately, at least when I tried it wasn't.

Can you please show me where they're selling these for $3.5k? I'll buy 3 of them and sell the other two!

Build one yourself with recycled bits. I'm sure you can get away with $3.5.

Sure, I'll whip up some enves from recycled egg cartons, a drivetrain from aluminium cans and contact points whittled from sticks I find in the garden. Then I'd be close to a build for $3500.

This could get close, but you'd have to find the frame on some sort of hefty discount code to get it around 3.5k

I built my Enduro using recycled bits from my previous bike.
New frame, Wheelset and new groupo.

Nice, I have a Remedy 8 on order as well. Hard to beat the spec at that price point.

The Bupa discount "form" says it's not valid on new models for 60 days from release date of the model. Did they waive that restriction, not notice it or is the delivery date after 60 days from release?

Agreed! I steered towards the higher spec on the alloy frame as opposed to lower spec on the carbon frame!

Who knows mate, I got told "all good" for the BUPA discount

Ha, no I'm simply sore that my local shop said "no" and enforce the 60 days rule. Its not a big deal really and the wait times for new models are often about 4 weeks anyway.
