Hey all,

looking for a frame for my bro this Xmas.

It must be cheap, durable, with low standover, and ride well with a sherman flick plus 150mm fork.

He's going to use it primarily for trail/urban/light fr, but it will probably see some shuttle/bikepark riding over the summer.

I'm looking at the KHS DJ-100, but I'm not sure how it will handle a long fork. Any experience/suggestions/offers?

Transition Vagrant?

 

[skatetokil]

good try but think cheaper.

Specialized P1. cheap. built well. lifetime warranty on the frame.

i use mine mostly for urban, but it works great on everything. Ive hit about 7 foot drops on it, and it holds up fine

$250 new, sliding dropouts, room for 2.7 tires, steel, i'm 190 and have been abusing this frame for everything.

.243?

STP? not sure on the price but its a nice frame and i dont think its too expensive.

Steelhead? Won't ride to well with that big of a fork, but not many cheap hardtails will.

Used old P. Series? I know people put big fork on 'em and like em.

my urban bike is an stp. i love it but i think i'll probably go with something else just because we would look too stupid riding together. plus I suspect it wouldn't take thelong travel real well.

soul cycles? titan on closeout for $150. slugman loves his.

 

[Bicyclist]

Damn that's a good deal and it sounds like a good fit as well.

Yeah, the Titan is one of the few HTs designed around longer travel forks...I'd go for that.

 

[skatetokil]

thats what i needed. he's about 5'11 maybe 6. Anybody with sizing experience? I'm inclined to go small for this kind bike in general and the top tube looks pretty long

.243?

I second the vote for the .243. Awsome frames. Look around, you can find em cheap.
