That Eccentric chromo frame like swan's pictured above is under 600.00 and will work with your 27.5 plus set up, those frames are looking pretty dialed. Oh yeah, by the looks of your profile pic I can picture that carbon frame cracking.

I'm actually looking for a steel frame. Need to the pull the trigger quick as I have a family trip planned. I like the Ragleys so far. I think the steel would be better because I'm a bigger rider.

Edit, my brother just built one, so I cant copy him!

The NS is the best budget steel aggressive HT available.. I spent a long time looking for something better at that price, and it doesn't really exist for us north America folk.

She's dead, Jim. I got my moneys worth for an entry frame, but its time to move one. Glad nothing came of it and I was safe. *public service announcement* : Check under your seat stay wraps while cleaning your bike.

Looking for a steel 27.5+ aggressive hardtail in the 4/500 range. Ragley?

The owner of sonder spoke about a few transmitter frames cracking in that spot in an interview when they released the new frame. Is it out of warranty?? The new frames look good!
Plus sized steel?? Yeh the ragleys fit the bill as does the eccentric, but copying your bro would suck!! Would your budget stretch to a cotic?

Why not just build a more baller Eccentric than your bro?

Looks like you have a better drivetrain already..

Hey guys, just spoke with Alpkit (Sonder Bikes) and they are going to replace the frame free under warranty with a newer V3 frame! Sweet. The new frames have improved stays and a little bit longer reach, not to mention internal routing and cool new colors.

I will be getting a Large Tarmac (Grey) soon!

They do look nice and you'll still have your $500 in your pocket.

It's a 31.6 seatpost which is great because I can still use my current dropper post. I will be getting a DVO Beryl to go with it.
