Feel like this is a bit of a bargain for the taller folks. I tried to convince myself it would fit me but that top tube is just too long. Although a 480mm reach is pretty much most brands large these days.

yeah. Indicated he's happy to ship given that NSW is a clusterfuck. No cracks, just a well used frame with plenty of paint chips. Be a perfect trail bike build for a big unit.

My hardtail has 480 reach. Noob question - is the reach measurement different for full suspension bikes?

The reach on your hardtail extends when your suspension is at sag (and HA steepens).

Ignoring dynamic movements, reach and head angle on dual-susp bikes stays pretty close to static as both front and back lower similar amounts at sag.

A lot of problematic G1’s are listed as G2’s. Not saying that is, but an 8yo bike with unknown gearbox, I’d tread carefully.

Wanted one a couple years ago and still like the look of them. Just no need since I have gone softcock
