ok so i just bought manitou nixons and i need advice on what frame to use with them. they have 145mm travel so i'm not sure how a small dirt frame would go with them. i will be riding forrest trails and possibly some dirt/street jumping. budget is around 200 euro. thanks in advance
need frame advice

i'm not too sure as to what size frame it's gonna make a difference that those forks go on but it will make a difference to you if you do not get the right size frame as that is what is of the utmost importance.
inseam and your heigth are what will determine that.
what you should look for and ask questions about are the stem size of that fork and if the frame head tube will fit that fork as there are differences.
and from what i remember of my manitous on my old trail mtn bike, i only needed 80 mm.
just remember, the only stoOpid question is 'should i ask a question' so ask away at your local bike shop.
goOd luck and happy riding!

If I was in your boat I'd probably get something along the lines of this.
