looking for cheap hardtail XC frame

want to build a single speed for a buddy and have most of the parts, just hunting for a frame/fork

15-18" frame, lightish, not a DJ frame. cheap is good

will buy or trade ...

I've got a 16" Iron Horse frame that you could have, it's not super light - but it's free.

edit: I'd part with my old Balance frame, as well. Reasonably light steel ht, but 1" head tube and odd BB diameter.

thanks PH that might just do the trick ....

is it in calgary?

can you send me pics?

I think I still have an old 16" Barracuda / Dos Equis Team frame from the early 90's...I'll look tonight.

DAMN
now THAT would be cool

same thing, can you email me info?

... can't compete with the XX team frame.

Which does sound cool, can I be in second position for the Barracuda?

Looks like I have a frame coming from PH, so I guess I must step aside, I'd love to make a second SS from that XX frame but ........

IG: you better be making something cool with that frame .... hate to see it wasted ....... ;)

Assuming it's a 1" head-tube, I've got all the pieces to build either a SS or a multi-speed hard-tail.

Quanto dinero truth?

edit: Missed the 16" size, might be too small.

sounds great, I hadn't thought of the 1" stuff

oh well, if you dont take it, and the price is right, I'll build a second SS from it.

1" zokies are pretty common on ebay. or you could just get one with the bolt on crown and steer tube and use a spacer and 1" steer tube

I have 1" and 1 1/8" forks that, while not fabulous by today's suspension standards, both will work.

mntlion - If you land the Cuda, I just might have to send you a fork.
