My #1 recommendation would be a Transition Trail-or-Park but I wasn't sure of UK price or if there was a distributor there. But check this out:

It was under their 'Frames - HT' heading; so I have to assume that is frame-only - - which is what you are budgeting for, right?

I am totally sold on Transition as a company and their products; and there are a few on here who own or have positive firsthand experience with the T-O-P.

If it's perfect, why are asking for opinions?
