Hey! If anyone is pushing shit in this thread, its going to be me. Craftworks frx frame? Will come in a long way under your budget. Works fine, no dings (from what I can see), a bit of pain off on the chain stay and back of seat tube (tyre rub I think). They ride nice. Will include spare hanger. $350 posted?

Lube and foreplay...

What are your current forks, mitchy?

 

[mitchy_]

FRX could work... Is it a 135 axle? Probably something I should have specified too.

Forks are 2014 Fox Talas 120-150's

Good options. Looks small though...and 142x12?

Those forks would suit nicely. Frame's finer details are:
- 135x12mm rear
- 73mm BB
- 30.9 seat post (I'm pretty sure)

Rear shock is a rock shock ario. Pretty simple - air, rebound, lock out. Rear mech cable is inside the swing arm for the kind of stealth look.

I think I have a rear hub that I can include for a few extra pennies if you need?

...that's cause I'm really tall so the camera is a long way from the frame. You short people wouldn't understand. I am not certain of the size, I had a mix of them in m and l. I rode the smaller size happily. Can check the size in the near future for you mitchy if need be? Something vaguely tells me you are a giant.

NOS Avanti Torrent 2 frame with Fox Kashima rear shock? Had plans to build it but renovations have taken precedence.

It's never been built and I still have the box for ease of shipping if that helps.

I'd be willing to part with it for $400 if interested

Cheers,
Theo

Who's Wanted ad is this?
Surely Mitchy should have first dibs without someone cutting his grass.

you're welcome. :crazy:

however this seems to suit my requirements, so hopefully the angry olive man does a righty...

OMFG......I'm allowed to ask a question about a frame someone posts' is for sale on a public forum right?

BTW, I just realised the 26" Torrent has less travel than I thought, so I'm not interested.

you are allowed to ask a question, you didn't state you intentions though... simply sounded like you were trying to steal a sale.

perhaps "if the wonderful mitchy isn't interested in this, and it suits my requirements i might be interested, pm sent." would be a better post to make...

Thanks for permission to asks questions. :crazy:

I asked the dude what size it is. I didn't want to fill up your wanted thread. That's hardly cutting anyone's lunch.

You guys are over-reacting.
