List of 26'er frames

I am toying with the idea of building up a 26'er after riding the Swobo Otis.

Hoping to build up a list of horizontal dropout 26'er frames:

Surly 1 x 1:

\

Bianchi B.U.S.S. / B.A.S.S. / W.U.S.S / P.U.S.S. :



Swobo Otis:



Leader Pharaoh Prototype:



. . . My mind is drawing a blank for many more, but I am sure there are others. . .

I think Fetish is out of business, but you might still be able to find their frames on eBay.

snip
lots of older, late 80's, early 90's mtbs had horizontal dropouts...the frames really were not all that different from road bikes back then. i had both a rockhopper & a stumpy with them.

but back to your original q...since you included bianchi's sadly discontinued **ss lines, apparently this list is not restricted to current production. so...
later model gt peace ss had track ends, came in 26"
monocogs came in & may, but i am not 100% sure, still come in 26"
nobody seems to think much of se bikes around here but the quadrangle is available as 26er & there's the om flyer & they have track ends on their really cool (i think) looptails

the soma analog has sliding dropouts so singlespeed it can be:


ps. i think 29ers are a fad and the "industry" will regret stopping production on them.

Doubt that 29ers are a fad. Trek has totally phased out all their upper end 26" hardtails this year...

If you ask your Trek dealer to ask their inside CSR about warranty frames available for sale, you could score a Mullet frame:





You'll also need to order the EBB that goes with it; EBB does not come with the frame. Just built a 3sp mtn bike around this frame.

I understand the concept of an Eccentrib Bottom Bracket, but how do you adjust it enough to tension the chain? . . . take the crank out, adjust, put the crank back on, hope for the best?



Edit: I learned that the adjustment is usually part of the frame, where you loosen it and get a good chain tension, then tighten it back up. Quite interesting.

Add to the list:

All-City Airwolf



Though I have to say, if I could find the ultimate frame, I would love to find 130/135 spaced+disc 26'er... which seems more and more like the Surly's

If you want freestyle geo, there's quite a few 26" options; more in the 29er category though.(Milwaukee Bruiser, Volume Cutter, Charge Scissor, etc)

Here's a couple 26" ones.


BB17 Charmer comes in 26".


Volume Vandal.


SE Bikes Quadangle.


Destroy bikes makes a couple.


All City Airwolf.

Just picked up this frame... I probably won't go 26 though, unless I find 700c too big for overlap reasons. Velocity Chukkers come in either size great excite!
Charge Scissor:
