    Hi guys.

    I'm looking for a full suspension frame, 29er for XC, something between 400 ~ 600 euros.

    I've found just all mountain frames in this range, such as Commencal AM 29er 2012 and Titus E l Guappo.

    Any tip about where I can find it in Ireland or any online store in EU is appreciated.

    PS. can be second hand.

    Cheers!
    Edson

    Not many FS XC frames, I've had a Specialized epic 29er and it was awesome, climbed like a hard tail and was insanely fast down hill. Don't see many for sale though, as i'm dying for another one

    Another thing is a giant anthem, though I've never been on one. Canyon do a FS XC bike, Orbea have the Occam,cannondale have one, which definitely looks cool.

    Ebay UK is good for secondhand frames, the XC ones are generally well minded because people that buy XC bikes know their limits and don't go hucking them off ledges

    I've been keeping an eye on ebay UK on and off for a while now and the specialized Stumpjumper/FSR bikes (of varying models) around the 2007-8 mark can be had for around £500-600; occasionally you'll spot one that's been well looked after and reasonably spec'd out for about £400 (sold), but that tends to be once in a blue moon.

    When looking at UK auctions, check the location; seriously! With some of the locations I've seen sellers in, it's not like you can just nip over to Galway from Dublin in an hour or two and back; some of the distances are considerably larger again or just plain awkward to get to without doing stupid amounts of driving.
