Mrs Julian is upgrading and reluctantly funding shiny new SC by selling this frame:
2008 Spesh Myka fsr frame, medium size, 17.5" seat tube with (allegedly) better standover than the same size 'man's fsr, and 21.5" top tube.
£210 posted or near offer. Gifty paypal or bank transfer please, cash on collection in Plymouth also fine.
(2008 whole bike retailed at £1000 and 2010 was £1100 to give you an idea of what sort of frame quality this is.)

Good bits:
-100mm rear travel horst link xc flying carpet.
-weighs a sprightly 5.5lbs including shock and seat collar
-normal 135mm rear dropouts
-normal is disc mount only
-30.9 seat tube
-includes specialized quick release collar and neoprene chainstay protector.
-takes a low band 34.9mm bottom-pull front mech.
-hose mounts rather than cable sops for continuous gear outer for rear mech.
-mech hanger nice and straight and never needed seeing to.
-x-fusion 02rc air shock with adjustable rebound compression and lockout
-1 set of bottle bosses with bolts
-complete with nifty down tube cable and hose clamps
-nice short (99mm) steerer tube takes normal 1 1/8" headset
-all bearings and bushings checked and a couple of them flushed and regreased after dismantling, nice and smooth.
-Suprisingly tasteful (for 08 specialized, some of them were right gopping!) metallic blue fade paint job with bamboo rather than flowers.
-headtube, disc mount and bb are all faced. (There is a tiny nick in the facing on the drive side bb shell, which is too small to see in the photo and still perfectly flat and faced)
Less good bits:
-It has 22 months and 2 winters riding on the clock.
-NO dents or cracks but plenty of chips of 1-4mm sort of size.
-Have a look at the photos, I have included all of them, no point in peeing folk off by selling something as mint when its not.
-The chips are mostly on the left side, from storage/transport rather than crashing: mrs julian is 8 1/2 stone with all her riding kit on and not known for jumping, drop-offs or crashing so it has had an easy life really and supplanted by her singlespeed for most muddy rides.
I can also supply the old seatpost and front mech for a bit extra if that's any use to you.
