Yeah I’d just got the 11-6 back from a service and it hadn’t been put back together properly. It came apart and the front end of the shock dropped down whilst in the air. When I landed it got driven forwards into the down tube. Pretty heavy impact and cracked it. The repair cost me $600 by a guy in Adelaide. He did a stellar job and as I said it was probably as good as new.I feel your pain. I had a Mach 6 for a bit. Underrated tanks, much more versatile than they look too. Kinda impressed you managed to break it actually... whereabouts?
From memory it was your write up of this frame with an 11-6 on here that convinced me to pull the trigger on the secondhand one I bought with the same set up...

That'll be fun to ride on the trails at night....Going to build up a bike path bike since that’s all I can do near home.
That's painful. Let me guess, it wasn't the ship's fault was it?Yeah I’d just got the 11-6 back from a service and it hadn’t been put back together properly.

By June 30 I’m an unemployed bum and will be day riding 7 days a week. Ok actually on jobkeeper and will open the workshop at home to suspension service and will I guess do car servicing in the local area. But still, from a risk pov night rides are probably out.That'll be fun to ride on the trails at night....
I have a hard eddie and it is the perfect yarra trails bike.. So whippy, especially with carbon wheels.. Get some dirt on to it..Going to build up a bike path bike since that’s all I can do near home.

Mine is carbon everything apart from the dropper post and stem, should weigh it one day.. It’s a surprisingly compliant ride, especially in the back end..Carbon everything it will probably go sub 9kg
