Best Budget 29er Frame ?
Looking for a cheap 29er frame for occasional riding. Thinking in the sub-$200 range. Any opinions ?

Sette Razzo $179..just started building mine!
For the money, the Sette Razo can't be beat. I have one built with an X9 drivetrain, but I'm getting rid of the drivetrain and making it a SS with a White Eno hub.

I bought my 08 Redline Monocog Flight 29er frame (frame only) for $185. I'm building it now and I can't wait to finish it. I test rode a complete Flight and it rides great.
How is the quality? Did you have to face/chase the BB? How is the head tube quality? Is the brake mount plane?Iluv2adjust said:Sette Razzo $179..just started building mine!
Looking really hard at buying this frame instead of the Access.
Back to OP, from what I have read both the Access XCL9r at Performance and the Sette Razzo at Price Point are good frames
in that price point. (Yea pun)
I've got a Motobecane Outcast frame I bought here. It can be run as geared or SS since it has rear vertical sliding dropouts. Fairly light (not as light as the razzo or access). I had issues with the rear tire not being centered in the chain and seat stays. Haven't figured out if the frame is cattywompus or i just don't have the sliders adjusted correcty. Its held up so far to my 300 lb arse for about 100 miles.
So where did you get the frame from?Bounty Hunter said:I bought my 08 Redline Monocog Flight 29er frame (frame only) for $185. I'm building it now and I can't wait to finish it. I test rode a complete Flight and it rides great.

Redline onocog or d440:thumbsup:
I got mine and they threw in a $20 discount in the checkout, so it came to $130.I Drink Blatz said:

Got Razzo at Pricepoint.com..Shipping was a little steep at $38..came to $219 total. Or you can do a nationwide craigslist search. there were a few frames there too.
Thanks for all the help thinking about going with the Access looks to be a great deal for the money.
Its $12 cheaper today and tomorrow if that helpsgodspeed2009 said:Thanks for all the help thinking about going with the Access looks to be a great deal for the money.
I purchased my XCL 9r for $89. Had the frame shipped to the store for pickup and BB facing was free! Their specials depend on the day/time in addition to the normal markdowns. Mine is converted to a SS using a Yess ETR-B tensioner and has been a great bike so far. You may want to get a Cane Creek ZS-3 headset, as the included one is cheap.

I ride a 21" 09 Monocog 29er! Paid $450 at LBS.
Check out the Monocog 29er frame and a couple others at this site:

$249 with fork! When you add all the other stuff LBS price is pretty good!

Godspeed, I really love my Motobecane Outcast 29er. I'm set up singlespeed but it has cable stops and a derailleur hanger if you want to go geared. According to Sasquach's link, Bike Island only has the 21" size left. Too bad, I thought about getting another. Oh, and Sassquatch, it's really easy to get your wheel crooked with the sliders. Keep practicing.
