Knolly endorphin. £900 will get you a frame from chris at riding high uk. They are due a large price hike in the new year. Excellent frame – reviewed in this months mbuk.
If you can be bothered importing from the US, shipping will probably be around £100ish not sure how the tax works out but a new 575 for £700 + costs, baaargain!!
Ive a Titus FTM frame up for sale (its titus's replacement for the motolite) Hydroformed front triangle,carbon seatstays. carbon rocker link.
bought and built up 9 months ago – frame cost £1699 then.
Its black anodised – Size medium (im 6'and run a 80mm stem), frame weight including RP23 is 5.5lbs.
very lightly used, bit of cable rub on seatstays,no dents/scratches, being anodised it comes uplike new.
Id let it go for £900inc postage(and throw in the black Chris King headset (cost £90)that i fitted when purchasing the frame) Ive a titanium hardtail frame in mind for the new year 🙂
currently the frames still builtup,but it looks identical to this…
seen some new motolite frames on ebay with new fox forks inc, for £1100ish seems a good deal, worth a search maybe, EDIT £1063 plus £81 postage for new 2010frame+new 09float 140, from israel
Ive got a 09 Lapierre Spicy here in white in great condition (few little paint chips on the bottom bracket) with headset, bottom bracket, seat post clamp fitted I would let go for £850 (plus delivery)…..
Wow.
I've been offered Ventana, Lapierre, Titus, Yeti. All beautiful bikes but I have reserved a brand spanking new Knolly Endorphin in ano grey, full warranty with a fox RP23BV for £900 which is half price. Chris is a very nice guy as beagle said.
A little heavier than I'm used to but at least I won't break it! TBH, I was very very tempted by the Lappy and the Ventana but really wanted a new frame.
Thank you Anthony, very nice of you to say so.
That Titus is a very nice looking bike, out of interest why are you selling it?
On another note, I think Chris at riding high has another medium Endorphin left at that price (med, black ano).
I fancy a change for the new year, and as the trails ive been riding really havent required a full sus, so was looking at getting a titanium hardtail, which i could still race SIS and mountain mayhem on. Have fun on the Knolly!
