What frame?

[balog]

I have just broken my Kona Entourage frame and am thinking about replacing it with another brand/model.

The problem is that I already have the parts... so I do not want to spend more money with the compatibility issue.

I´m looking for a freeride frame, offered in a large size (600+mm top tube) with:

170-190mm of travel
222mm shock lenght
83mm BB shell
12X150mm rear axle
Tapered or 1.5" head tube
ISCG 05 tabs

Any suggestions?

Transiton TR250, fulfills are the criterias (not sure about the shock length) and rides awesomely and so fun! You will never to have to worry about breaking your frame again either

you may have problems with the shock since most are specific tunes for that suspension design.

I have a CaneCreek Double Barrel Air... so this should not be a problem

Unfortunately the Transitio shock lenght is 216mm, not 222mm.... but OK... it´s a good option.

No more ideas guys?

Cove STD runs an 8.75 (222) inch shock (2.75" stroke)

I'd check out Banshee scythes. they look sick!

yep ...different leverage ratios for different bikes

yep ...different leverage ratios for different bikes

This should not be a problem as I have a CaneCreek DBAir... totally adjustable.

Till now we listed:
Transition TR250
Banshee Scythe
Cove STD

The Banshee doesn´t seem to have the geometry I´m looking for... do anybody have an axperience with the bike built with a 170mm fork (Lyrik DH Solo Air)?

Any new ideas?
