I'm only in it for the look.
Skiiiiiiddddzz!In what situation is he braking hard enough with the rear to feel like he needs a bigger rotor, yet not using the front brake?
Going to double check my rotors are still both 180 and I haven’t done something truly stoopidSkiiiiiiddddzz!
You'd have to brake really hard to stretch your rotors out to 9 inches from 180mm!Just got out for a quick local spin. Bombed it into this chute that goes into a couple of switchbacks through some trees, before dropping down steep again. The idea is, off the brakes, get it under control on the flat left corner before you head into into the trees, then let it loose again. Left hander was still greasy unfortunately, so I grabbed brake and just locked up the rear. Rag dolled down the hill a bit but just took some bark off.
Get home and cleaned up and read this…

Doing what I can for the skidsYou'd have to brake really hard to stretch your rotors out to 9 inches from 180mm!
Maybe spray some amyl on the rotor first?Doing what I can for the skids
That was after, it threw me off the first run down haha.But the jump looks cool. Was this after the chain incident?
Luckily going slowish at the time, but still managed to kiss the ground with my face. Should have been wearing the full face!Always an Uncomfortable incident.
How will it ever be in “mint condition” even after you’ve thrown a new paint job and decals at it??Warranty frame finally arrived and was surprised to find they did not want the old frame back.

I had the seat stay crack repaired almost 2yrs ago, done by Carbon Steed in Brisbane who did an awesome job. I didn't bother getting the repair painted as I figured the frame was going to be handed back. It's been ridden a lot since and I have no concerns over the repair.
Have stripped it down and cleaned it up. Removed the Invisiframe wrap which has done an outstanding job however where the gaps were have become discoloured which is annoying.
5yrs of wear and tear.
So what to do?
a) Sell it as is frame and shock. What do you think would be a reasonable price to ask?
b) Repaint frame for $850 including new decals, then sell in mint condition or keep it as a spare which I don't really need as I've always been a 1 bike rider.
c) Build it up as a spare as is.
Interested to hear your feedback.
Poor choice of words there. I'm not out to rip anyone off and am/will be upfront about it's history.How will it ever be in “mint condition” even after you’ve thrown a new paint job and decals at it??
