wow this is my first post im scared...

Ill try and make this post make sense but it proly wont.

OK here's the low down im looking for a new gnar long travel frame...BUT IT HAS TO BE ABLE TO HAVE A FRONT DERAILLEUR (sorry about caps but i wont even give a frame the time of day if it doesnt). Then i found the Turmoil and fell in love with it, but no front Derailleur mount poo. i told a friend about it and he gave me the idea to get/use and e type(bottom bracket) front Derailleur. the only problem with that is the Turmoil's bb spacing is 100mm and there are like 3 bbs with that size raceface, fsa, and Truvativ. so yeah and none are etype specific but can you just getto rig it?

ok another proplem is the Turmoils swing arm area. i talked with the OWNER and creator of the frame/company Bill Millington, he doesnt know if the Derailleur would fit because of the size of that area but i just assumed that it would because you can put a fatty chain guide on it and from the pictures but they arnt that good.

After looking at all the stuff id have to get to use the frame it would end up being over 2500 so if anyone has a good idea on a frame 2500 or less let me know...8+ in of travel and has to be able to take big drops and jumps thanks

Have you considered the fact that, due to the frame not being front derailleur compatible, there will be no cable stops for you to run housing on/through?
