I've been trying to find a FR/SS frame with 5.5-6.5 inches of travel that has 150mm rear dropouts, but I'm having trouble finding much. Does anybody have suggestions?
So far my option is the Intense Slopestyle, I'll throw in a picture to grab some attention =]

why are you building a bike around a wheel? i dont think there are too many short travel bikes out there with a 150mm hub because they dont need the stiffness and strength of a dh bike.

edit: a santa cruz bullit can take a 150mm hub but they have 7 inches of squish

I think the Iron Horse 6 point has a 150mm rear end with 83mm BB.. So does the 7 point.

If your willing to go used a 2005 Norco Six has 150mm rear end.

Correct! 6/7/sunday all have 83mm BBs and 150x12 rear ends. Extra torsional stiffness

I know, I feel kind of dumb building a bike around my wheelset, but they're custom Industry 9s and I won't be able to get very much out of selling them... haha. Also I really like the stiffness of 150mm dropouts, it just feels a lot better to me

That Quake looks like its either really heavy or really light, do you know how much it weighs?

Just ordered an Intense Slopestyle from chainlove for 1210 shipped, I'm stoked!
