Steel frame recommendations

[Tom79]

Oh and it needs to have disc tabs and a 1 1/8 headtube (for some forks I already have). Anyone recommend a nice and cost effective frame for a build?

Looking at some Rock Lobsters on fleabay but they aren't overly cheap!

On one 456 or if you can find one at the rite price you can't beat a Cotic Soul

Mines a 19" I bought it as a 17" but the bloke was clearly blind.
They are pretty short, if your near gatwick your welcome to a look
at it to see if the size is OK.

You can fit your 1 1/8 forks to a tapered or 44mm headtubed frame with a headset for tapered forks and a crown race reducer

This might expand your options.

I've got a Genesis Altitude 2.0 it's Reynolds 853 main tubes and the frame cost me £35. It's not for sale, but if you live near Heathfield you're more than welcome to have a look at mine! They do pop up on Ebay every so often.

Nice one...I'm in Ticehurst so only about 15 mins away. May well take you up on that at some stage as been looking at the Genesis frames. Cheers!

Drop me a pm whenever you fancy it and I'll make sure I'm in! I'm currently building it up for my brother but for me you can't get better for the money.
