Purchased new as a frame only in late 2019 and built up as a rigid 29er, it’s a 27.5 designed frame but fit my 2.25 Maxxis pretty well but I didn’t use it in any crazy mud.
I primarily used this as a commuter bike/flat bar gravel monster but I’m sure it will make a great hardcore hardtail as it was designed for, nominally a 150-160mm 650b fork. The bb felt plenty low with a short 29 fork.
Frame is in good condition with no notable paint nicks (wrapped chainstay from new, no proper mountain biking etc.) but I did notice some rust on the weld/drain holes on the rear triangle. See pics and I have sanded this off to confirm it was only a superficial bit of surface rust. I have treated it but not repainted it, I would advise it if purchased.
Frame includes a saint BB, nukeproof rear axle and superstar headset. All have life left in the bearings but certainly not new, headset bearing easy to replace.
Any questions please ask, I have enjoyed the frame especially as a quirky build but recently upgraded to a Ti one.
Price includes postage
Cheers

Hello, can you tell me the real life length of the head tube? Looking to build up a hardtail from some bits I have lying around. Cheers
Sorry for the very slow reply! It’s relatively long as a headtube, including the headset it is around 153mm.
