WTD: big frame

Looking for a new project frame.

looking for something in the XL realm, ideally a light XC 29er (hardtail or short travel bouncer) but possibly a disc brake gravel or similar frame. Got lots of bits so aiming for something super cheap/tatty/old so my wife will be proud of me not spending too much! Lol

Condition or even damage doesn’t matter…adds to the project fun!

Anything old and gathering dust?
Cheers

Chris

Thanks guys.

@Ton Thanks for the option. In principle I may be interested in frame only, but guessing that doesn't help you sell the bike! I've got a 90mm 29er Lefty on the way so looking for something racey and a bit daft.

Tom - thanks but one too many zeros for my budget :-bd

Sorry thought you wanted a bike not a frame. Must learn how to read properly.

I've got a 23inch Genesis Attitude hardtail frame in lime green reynolds 853 tubes. But 26inch. You could run it as a 69er with the lefty up front? Let me know if your interested.

Hi, I have an old XL Salsa el mariachi frame that is curre tly taking up space in the loft. It may have the starts of a crack in the chainstay-I can photograph this if you are potentially interested. I’d let it go very cheaply, but it may need welding and it is in Sheffield. Not worth posting as this will likely cost you more than the frame!
