VIC WTB: 26” Hardtail frame (FOUND)

[treble]

Item: 26” Hardtail frame (medium/large)
Location: I’m in SE Victoria, happy to pay some post
Price range/Willing to Pay: less than $500
Extra Info: I’m looking to put together a bit of a pump track/dirt jump bike to mess around on at the local BMX track. Planning to use some 26” wheels and parts I have sitting around. Need something with a 12x142 or 12x148 rear hub spacing (would consider 10x135mm if I can convert the hope hub I have). Tapered head tube would probably be needed for the fork I have. Doesn’t need to be flash might even end up custom painting the frame anyway.
I thought I might see if anyone has anything lying around before I delve into the unbranded frames of AliExpress

Tapered headtube, 12x148mm rear spacing.. Sounds like the Specialized P.4 Frame would suit

I've got a ragley mmmmmmbop. May or may not suit. Much cheaper than your budget if you can't find something to those specifications (axle is 125x10). It is blue. I have some suitable white wheels to match. The lot would still come in under your budget.

@FoxRidersCo - That looks like it might be spot on if I can’t find something second hand, it looks very tempting.

@binner - both sound interesting. Any chance of a photo and some more specs over pm?

@pink poodle - I do enjoy a Ragley. But in really want to use this mint 26” wheelset I have gathering dust. Thanks!

I know the feels. I have 3 mint wheelsets doing the same. If you can't find something to shit, you know where to find me. May even be able to work out a wheel swapping deal.

There is also the Dartmoor Two6Player frame for $350

Thanks @binner - didn’t realise they both ran QR skewers. Prefer to keep it to through axle or bolt through at this stage. Thanks though, still looking
