Very early MTB frame wanted, any condition

[cycletothesea]

Something along the lines of a Dawes Ranger, 1st Gen Stumpjumper etc. Long wheelbase, extreme angles, probably really uncomfortable - flat top forks (not unicrown). Don't mind condition, as I'll be looking to strip and respray before rebuilding. Looking to pay UN-silly money, doesn't have to be a museum piece.

I have a late 80's Raleigh Ozark which is a pretty rare and quality frame although isn't quite as sought after as the Stumpjumpers and their like from this time. Any good?

Re:

Are you looking for 531 or anything with that geometry and flat top forks?

Yes - 531, early style flat top forks and long wheel-base. An early Stumpjumper is the template but they're pretty hard to find at sensible prices.
