Any suggestions? Frames that have a relatively slack head-angle (69 deg) and reasonably short chain-stay (=<17").
Thus far, these frames will accept 140mm forks.
- Reeb
- Kona Raijin
- Chromag Surface
- 2Souls Quarterhorse steel or titanium (leading contender)
- Canfield Nimble 9
Thanks.

I recently test rode the Niner ROS 9 and I'm surprised I didn't whip out my credit card and buy it straight off the demo truck! It was an amazing bike, 140mm travel with a dropper post! Steel frame felt amazing, the only thing I would have changed were the handlebars, a bit too wide for my liking. (790? mm or so I'm good with 720-740)
If you get a chance to test ride one do so!!

Nice. I did come across ROS 9 Plus, I think that's the name. Will look into it. Though, too bad it's being sold as complete bike.
