Need frame recomendation
I'm looking to build my first full suspension bike and would like recommendations on what frame to use. I will be riding mostly cross country and on the road and don't need a whole lot of travel, 80mm max in front.
I really like Trek fuel frames but they are hard to come by on EBAY.

THe Jamis Dakar Is a real value, Worth taking a look at! If money isn't too tight look at the Santa cruz, rocky mountain or even Ellsworth

How much money are you willing to spend? Are you looking at $800 frames or $2,000 frames?
Personally I love both my Turner Nitrous and my Ellsworth Truth and highly recommend either of them. However those may be out of your price range.

I have a rocky mountain element, can't say enough about it, and its not overly heavy for the price.
EDIT: just realised that it only came in 15"
