Yet another project to stave off the boredom for a short while. I figure since I've totalled my back, I might as well make it worse by trying to ride rough stuff on a hardtail
Item: large (or a big medium) steel hardtail frame that'll take a tapered 160mm fork
Location: narre warren
Price range/Willing to Pay: a custom job from Marino starts at $250 US so ideally less than that. But let's hear the options anyway
Extra Info: little sis has an aluminium frame for me that'd be perfect, except it's aluminium. I'm really keen on steel for a hardtail, and I'm not going to compromise on this. Ideally I'd like 44mm head tube, but tapered is fine. Ideally I'd like 142x12 ta, but 135x10 would also be fine. Not fussed if it's 26 or 275, unless somehow the frame design won't let me run a 26" wheel.
After seeing the Marino thread, I'm pretty confident those guys will be able to get me sorted. But just in case there's a neat used frame gathering dust out there waiting for me I figured I'd see what's around. If there's a comparably priced option out there new I'm all ears too. This is my first time really looking into a bike like this so any help would be appreciated.
