Hey buddy, I've just changed my wife's frame over and I now have a nice medium salsa el Santo frame that I'm about to put up for sale
http://salsacycles.com/bikes/el_santo

Its in pretty good nic, some cable rub and paint chips but no ding dents or cracks anywhere. Comes with headset, mounting hardware for a fox shock (requires a 165mm shock), salsa seat post and clamp and an xt derailleur. Pretty sure I paid $400 for it with a float r shock and its done well under 100km since then, she's much less of a rider than I am a bike builder :mmph: does $250 sound fair?

Pm me if interested

What size does your partner ride?

I've got a Niner EMD9 in an XS (2012 in black, excellent condition) but for the price you are asking, I would only sell you the frame and fork (includes headset).

get back to me if you are interested and I'll post you some picts.

cheers

I've got a complete Fluid Nitro i was just going to build up to sell. The frame isn't a big brand name fancy schmancy like some others, but it works well. Was going to put Fox 32 Floats on it, they are RL so would work pretty well as a commuter too. Mostly a parts-o-caster, so really only asking about $400 or more with a couple nicer bits. PM for full details, pics, etc if interested. It's not built atm, size S.

pics as per your request there is some chipping on the underside of the chainstay, its a bit weird as there is bugger all on the top side so its not like its been thrashed excessively or anything. the only thing i can think of is that the previous owner had it set up badly and had chain drop or suck issues or something. in any case, it doesnt effect its performance and its under the bike right up next to the chainrings so you pretty much wont see it.



i can try again for better pics tomorrow if you like...
