    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.

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

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

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

    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.
