Hey, that’s a very sweet ride. I wonder if there’s a frame like this for sale anywhere?

 

[Minlak]

So this thing has had a bit of a beating and has paint chips and scratches all over it - looks a little tired - have it apart for a service and can’t decide weather to freshen the frame up to or leave it abused.

Is it going to be used more gently if you give it a birthday? If not leave it alone. Get it dirty and leave it that way.

Oh god that was 18mths ago now - ummm probably CRC back then - haven’t bought anything from CRC recently

Cheers local stock seemed to be depleted last I checked but MTB Direct have them available now.

So this frame is looking a little worse for wear no actual damage just lots of stone chips. Since I’m not riding it currently am thinking about painting it or powder coating it. The last time I tried to strip paint etc from frames it’s ended up with me taking it to a shop to have it sand blasted. Just don’t want to start then get the shits and not finish. On the flip side also considered selling it - but as my only hardtail I would probably just buy another one.

Is this still available?

I like your spirit, spend money to reduce the market value of a bike you don’t even ride.

But then it will be unique and custom and stuff and soooo desirable

And everyone will think it’s snapped and been put back together with toothpicks and JB weld. Of course if you’re going to keep it for eva ...

For reals though? I’ve got a mate who’s probably interested. You’re all about the EEEEEEEEEE’s now.
