I'm looking for an small XC full suspension frame for my GF.

Anybody know of any online stores having good sales right now? Any suggestions on a good small womans frame?

So, your girlfriend is dissatisfied with what she currently has, and needs something new to ride?

Stosh - why not consider that complete Schwinn Rocket 88 - that's a hot bike and I'm sure it would fit your GF - you'd get the whole shooting match for just a little more than the frames that Loco is listing.

I was thinking $300.

See the other thing is I could do installments with that guy but we dont' know if it fits her.

Are you stuck on full suspension?

You won't get much on a FS bike for $300. You'll get a halfway decent used hardtail for the same price, though...

See if that dude will meet you in Danbury or Waterbury - that's a sick bike and I bet it'll fit her for XC riding no problem.

what's wrong with her current bike Stosh?
Click to expand...
it's an old Kona HT.
It's ok and she's pretty happy with it... she's a great rider and I was hoping if she had a FS she would ride longer.

You can sometimes find good deals on K2 frames. There's an Ebay mtb store that sells K2 closeout stuff with no warranty. They sometimes have razorback frames for good prices. They also have those funny linkage forks for cheap. I've been thinking about getting one for my singlespeed, because I wanted one when I was a teenager.
