So, what you should be looking for is a mid/late 90s/early 2000s 26er frame. Probably hundreds available used: Specialized Stumpjumper; Giant Rainier or XTC; Trek 4000 to 8000 series come to mind. That sort of thing.
thanks. Do you know of some 90s hardtails like you mentioned that are pretty capable of shredding?
