the frame an forks are very rare an in my opion the forks only suit the karpiel its hard to find a frame with e nough rear travel to match whats the chances of finding the frame an forks together
I haven't rode the karpiel since I swapped the parts over it needs a brake adaptor for the magura caliper an the brakes need bleeding I hope to get this sorted in the next few weeks
price is £1600 (I ve seen frames go for 500 an the forks for over 600
