Well, thinner than my Nukeproof Electrons, quite a big platform and around £80

Edit, they look badass, exactly what I'm looking for

For that price I can only recommend vaults based on first hand experience. Thin enough and massive grippy as fook platform. My old set I sold to my mate are over 2 years old, been stripped once and had a few new pins and are still spinning perfectly.

I know it's cheap, but could you fit a shock to this frame? I'm after a cheap full suspension frame and this will do if so.

in all honesty, the whole bike was not worth much more than that!

I dont even think you could get anything but a pogo stick in that short a length shock either.

What are you wanting it for?

XC mainly, but if that's the case I'll stick with my GT.

Here.

I'd go for this, then spend £30 getting an older fox float in it.

It'll be much better than most stuff you're going to get in that price range.
