Wanted 26er SS frame (OT sort of)

Post by fatbikephil »

I'm probably going to regret this but I want to build up an SS 26er for using on a pump track
It must be cheap, steel and have slotted drop outs and disk brake mounts. Ideally an inbred SS - in fact I have an inbred 26er with vertical drop outs which I could 'convert' (i.e.cut 'n' shut) but I'd rather not so I could swap this for one with horizontal drop outs. For pref an 18" seat tube but if you have a smaller one I may be interested too. The rougher the better and if it's cracked I can weld it so no probs.

If anyone could recommend a good healthcare provider I'd also be interested....

I've got a very lightly used Banshee Scratch frame. 26" or 24" wheels, ss or geared and fitted with Gusset 3pc steel cranks with MTB spider.

Looks interesting Stu but maybe a bit too jump oriented for me, although I like the idea of a frame that is indestructible... I'll keep looking for an On one or similar frame for a bit (or fit a singualator to the one I have to test the concept!) and mebbes get back to you if I draw a blank.

Sqibjib - that link didn't come through??
Cheers

No trouble Phil. I did use it for a short while as a 'trail' bike, so a little less 'jumpy' that you'd think. :wink:

I don't use my PT bike much anymore - built up Dialled Holeshot. If you were interested in a full bike let me know and I can provide details and discuss price.

Sorry the link I sent was for a DMR but I think it was just an old frame stickered up to be a DMR as it was alloy hmm don't remember alloy DMR's but that's eBay for you.

What length is the seat tube Stu?

Ideally I'd like something I could notionally pedal too somewhere so 17" is min

Still ruminating, sorry to procrastinate!
Burty, I'd still prefer a frame as I'm trying to avoid more bits I might not use but will bear in mind. Just missed a local inbred SS so going to hang on a bit longer for another...
Tah for looking for me all :-bd
