Check out Hunter Cycles -- http://huntercycles.com/ . Sweet steel frames, sliding drop-outs, cool design SS 29er (IMHO), good prices, and Rick is 6'6" so he knows how to design for tall guys.
What options do I have? Frame suggestions
I'm looking for a pretty specific single speed frame and I'm wondering if I need to go the custom route or if I can save a few bucks and get a manufactuered frame.
Basically I am tired of my Niner single speed and want to get a horizontal sliding drop out design, 29er, steel, single speed specific frame (no cable guides), disc brake only, that comes in a 25"-ish virtual top tube (I am 6'4" and equally proportioned legs/arms). I noticed many frame manufactuers, ie vassagocycles, don't have a large enough frame for me. I also need something extra strong, I broke my last frame and am extremely rough on everything I own.
Thanks :thumbsup:

The new steel version of the Misfit Psycles Dissent meets all of your criteria.
If you can settle for a light, racy alu frame, Specialized sells the Stumpjumper frames separate and I believe they even have stock sizes with over 26" ETT. I know you're looking for steel though; just throwing out options.tribune said:I'm looking for a pretty specific single speed frame and I'm wondering if I need to go the custom route or if I can save a few bucks and get a manufactuered frame.

Ooh, good call. I know they aren't SS specific (how many frames really are?), but I remember them saying the process leaves room for some customization right nowcanyonrider said:The new steel version of the Misfit Psycles Dissent meets all of your criteria.
Actually, I think the dissent is SS specific unless you order otherwise, i.e., no derailleur cable stops or hanger.
Huh, guess I missed that. Not what I would want, but very coolcanyonrider said:Actually, I think the dissent is SS specific unless you order otherwise, i.e., no derailleur cable stops or hanger.
Anyone have specs on that Misfit Psycles Dissent? Their website seems to be broken...can't access any details.
Thanks boom, there are a lot of Al options, but I prefer steel

Everything you need to know is here.
I know you said steel but Lynskey makes XL frames and they have sliders. Plus I got mine SS specific with no upcharge.
