Im planning to switch my hardtail into a full, i dont want to spend more than 750euros on a frame, would be good if its new, also dont want to spend money on buying new rear hub. Currently running Hornet 14' with Revolt cassette 135x12.
So must have:
135x12 hub standard
650b
150 ish travel, good climber, enduro friendly
not more than 750 euros, prefered new with warranty

Specialized Enduro, 2012 and after has 135 x 12. I've picked up two enduro frames here on PB for around 700 USD. Salute 160mm travel. It's a good climber with a light build. Better yet it's awesome on the downhills and you can take it to the bike park

*edit: It's actually 142 x 12. I'm not familiar with any 135 x 12 frames. Any chance you could get a 142 adapter for your hub?

It is possible. My Nukeproof hubs came with adapter for 142. Saved me from getting a new hub when I switched frames

Unoffficially, two 1/2x3/4" thrust washers on each side of the 135mm hub will give you 142mm. It's a $2 fix that i've used before with great results. I use thrust washers because they are specifically designed for exactly that sort of application, so you don't have to worry about issues due to weak shims. It can be a bit fun to install though, so if you frequently remove your rear wheel, you do not want to go this route.

yeah, i pretty much fixed the "problem" with 135x12, my hub has a couple $ spacers to change and it's gonna be 142x12. World wide frame choice opens Big Grin

A Scott voltage is 135x12... I cracked mine and stumbled across this trying to figure out what frame I could switch my stuff onto. Cheers on the spacers for 142mm tip!

man, forget spacers, sell rear wheel, cut the looses.
Why? because apart from fitting the hub but there are other problems: chainline alignment, wheel dishing.
