BFe appears to have way too much BB drop: 60mm with 120mm fork.
No sliding dropout either. I don't want a tensioner - if I did there's a few frames like the Fluid HT to choose from, inc the Ragley Marley and Piglet.

It definitely has to be a 27.5?BFe appears to have way too much BB drop: 60mm with 120mm fork.

Yeah, problem is that I got some quite nice 27.5" boost wheels, 120mm forks and other bits to put on a suitable frame.It definitely has to be a 27.5?
try & find a giant xtc old version with adjustable dropouts, pity about the soma - wonder if someone would machine dropouts for you..the soma has removable dropouts - ive been looking for a soma for a whileYeah, problem is that I got some quite nice 27.5" boost wheels, 120mm forks and other bits to put on a suitable frame.
That Soma Riff looks pretty good but isn't boost axle.
I was going to mention that one but I thought it was optimised for 29/27.5+?Expensive, but how about the Spot Rocker? Comes in 27.5+ or 29" SS builds, or frame only:
Rocker SS
Rocker 27.5+ occupies that sweet spot halfway between fat bikes and cross-country bikes. Whatever the season or trail, the Rocker SS 27.5+ is mountain biking rock-n-roll boiled down to its purest essence.spotbikes.com
List a 50mm BB drop, but doesn't specify what fork it is with as far as I can see - I'm assuming a 120mm though given that's what they spec the full builds with...
That's what I've got, a 2019 XTC. It's probably OK with 29" wheels (60mm bb drop) but it's too low with my 27.5 ..try & find a giant xtc old version with adjustable dropouts
At first look the Rocker looks pretty cool. Maybe even AUD2700 worth of cool.List a 50mm BB drop, but doesn't specify what fork it is with as far as I can see - I'm assuming a 120mm though given that's what they spec the full builds with...
Or Marino. I ended up on a similar hunt, couldn’t find the geometry I wanted in a frame with an inbuilt chain tensionerWatly?
That's why I went Waltly in the end. I think OP will struggle a bit to get modern geo (reach etc) but with no BB drop.Or Marino. I ended up on a similar hunt, couldn’t find the geometry I wanted in a frame with an inbuilt chain tensioner

Just picked this up from courier depot, grabbed off a former/current burner Al pinkard
quick assembly after lowering xfusion by 30mm, now @110mm trav
Complete build High 10s?feels pretty light for a steel frame
Salsa is overpriced imo, i should know i have a duallie of theirs-sure it’s a good bike but their frame only prices can be high, surly is the same -i don’t see the value, and the import prices seem quite high to what you can get one for in the US, i’ll measure bb height later for you, ive had no problems w my 165mm cranks so farComplete build High 10s?
Out of curiosity, what's the BB height measure to? IE with bike straight upright, measuring from ground to centre of crankbolt.
Continuing my quest; it seems a Salsa Rustler frame might fit the bill, fork is supposed to be 130-150mm but numbers seem almost-OK for 120mm. Biggest problem is the price at USD$3k for frame + shock. The Surly Lowside is almost there but seattube is very slack, and would have to go an XL (to get modern reach) which means a 120mm headtube - which is too long for my fork.
I like my Step Cast Fox 34 27.5 but it's proving a liability to find frames to suit.
I'm currently using 34 20 on the Waltly.What chainset and rear cog do most people ride on a single speed? 32T and 16T respectively?
