Frame only £2899. According to Google that is just over 4K at $4204.42. You can even get it with the 11-6 shock for only £3699=$5509.69
Don't know if this beats the kingdom with some expensive gearing but the Nicholai ion 16 gpi with all the extras and without shock is 6250usd. Someone have to compare that to an expensive groupset and crankset. I guess the kingdom with a set of tune Bigfoot and xtr di2 or God forbid the acros hydraulic system is more.
WaffleStomp - I went with the Switch frame (for now) over the BMC for a few reasons: The current fork I'm not 100% sure it's 29'er compatible, and I'm not sure we'd find a more expensive fork//frame//shock combo (plus I couldn't easily find the BMC's shock eye to eye...) You're all welcome to protest, do more parts research to check for fitment, etc... Just let me know.
bengt.leon - I added the Ti Thomson bars... even though "they're the perfect bar for your rigid mtb." I'll let you guys make the call if you think they truly belong on a trail bike.
The switch is expensive but, heavy and a bit of a Minger...so ok not terrible looking but we can do better. If someone can verify that BMC please do it.
Found this so it's happening...BMC trailfox and push elevensix, can someone please buy a trailfox move to Colarado lend it to Darren and then we can put it at the top of the list. Look at how sweet this thing is!!!
Updated with a few more parts.
