Now to find a shock for this beaut.
looks nice 🙂
*awaits "will a Foes shock fit my new frame?" post*
The photo doesn't do it justice. It also comes with a low BB shock mount already fitted. I am genuinely excited. I've not been like this over a frame for a very long time.
new bikes are always ace, some acer than others.
I'll look forward to doing a critique of your garden shortly 😉
I'll give you 150 for it when you sell it next week.
Nice. I love custom Ti hardtails.
Which chinese factory did you supply your measurements too, to get them to build your titanium hardtail, in the end?
Oh.... hang on a minute? 😉
They are great bikes , what are you planning to use it for?

Why not invest in the Enduro frame that I'm selling then? 8)
They are great bikes , what are you planning to use it for?
Everything. I only own one bike.
😆 The worrying thing is I looked around google etc alot. A few stories on Mtbr about frame failures and some of the weld finishing was slightly honeycombe in effect. Didn't inspire confidence when you say to someone hey I'm a heavy/fat ****er I just bought a [i]cheap[/i] ti frame from ChinaNice. I love custom Ti hardtails.

It will make a great phat bike!
I'll take it for a tenner...

and to think I didn't believe those rumours when I heard them.
what are you planning to use it for?
Riding the mile down to the Marble Beer House where it will look ridiculously out of place, nestled among the fixies outside 😆
Call it £15 then me and binners could roast you Premiership-Player styleeI'll take it for a tenner...
Lovely wasn't it- pity it was a medium. This is a large.Riding the mile down to the Marble Beer House where it will look ridiculously out of place, nestled among the fixies outside

Who are you and what have you done with Hora?
doesnt this have the same or nealry the geometry as the enduro you are selling.
plus the enduro is a lighter frame??
oh, I'd do THAT for free with Hora... I've heard that it's all smoke and mirrors anyway...
Good god no please don't tell me he has bought a bike that may be the right size for him!!!!
lord help us all.
*is sure Hora will make up for this next time by buying a 14" jump bike at a XC weapon* 😉
[i]Good god no please don't tell me he has bought a bike that may be the right size for him!!!![/i]
we'll have weeks of what stem length/can I run a layback seatpost back to front as my TT is too long threads 🙂

SssssHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
At the risk of opening a right old can of worms: what forks are going on it?
Is that the horrible Poo brown colour? Thats what my Enduro was like before I stripped it.
What size shock does it take? I have a Monarch+ on my Enduro and it feels great, I have tried DHX Airs and Vanilla RC's but the Monarch+ is the best.
[i]what forks are going on it?[/i]
Rigids, for chuckability
The best forks. 2011 TST2 shimmed stacked/converted 55's of course. Glad I took the risk voiding the warranty doing that mod.what forks are going on it?
I'm selling a 09 Enduro BTW not the earlier one.
Poor hora, he's had the enduro a year now but you're all still ribbing him.
Do they have any more for sale Hora?
I_Ache- can you run the same eye-to-eye/stroke on the old Enduro as the SX? What length etc is yours? I'll keep a lookout for a Monarch+ as well then
Sadly not but crazyknowledge on here who sold it to me seems to have alot of new/old stockDo they have any more for sale Hora?
Is it one of these?

Loved mine. Even managed 36 miles in the Peaks one day on it. I did have to go and lie down for a week afterwards tho. It was SO MUCH fun DH, rather less the other way.
Coil shock FTW.
It's Brown isn't it?
It looks Brown to me..
It is Brown, noooo can't be..
Wot size weels? Them small 26" jobbies or a grown up Mans 29"
I've some brand new Bonty Carbon 720mm bars and a ritchey 80mm stem that would go on that nice like.. init.
Please God, no white rims.
Get a gert big ****-off GNAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRR coil shock on it!!!!
No shock = warranty frame, not NOS. Not that that really matters.
Binners if I could afford it'd be ti.
If anyone sees any shocks for sale along the lines of:
8.75 x 2.75 (2nd choice), 9 x 2.75 (preferred) or 8.5 x 2.75 give me a shout? 🙂
Im sure its not far off 09 enduro geometry but a lot heavier!!
plus these frame bob like a bitch to, my old one had a dhx5 on it and still bobbed around.
what are you trying to achieve hora??
Renton I've ridden both that gen SX and the Enduro I've got now- I never really got on with this Enduro- always top-heavy feeling. The older SX does bob and doesn't climb brilliantly but its just soooo much more planted and inspiring for a average rider like me.
fair one like !! i really liked my 06 one but just couldnt get on with the weight of it !!
should build up quite nice though !
Hell, Hora you must have legs of steel!
I had the Enduro from that vintage when I lived in the Peak, and found it bloody awful to drag round, specially in the winter- a full build of that SX with a coil and TST2 must be going to come close to 40 lbs! Good luck with it though.
Hora its a 222 xx 66mm (8.75x2.6") so looks like it will fit but give you around 156mm travel.
plus these frame bob like a bitch to, my old one had a dhx5 on it and still bobbed around.
Of course its going to bob like billy-o with a DHX 5 on it, its a DH shock (the name gives it away) its not designed to be firm when pedaling up a steep fire road.
FWIW mine does bob a bit but with the compression on full it is almost locked out. As it is a 3 position compression leaver i can easily flip it round to open if I want. I normally just leave it in the middle setting and the bike is great.
vinnyeh- I had a medium new shape SX trail that I bought and sold on for a trip to the Alps last year. I'd have kept it if it had been a smidge lighter or longer but.... I climbed it from Edale to the top of Mam Tor on the road without stopping. I was VERY SLOW though. Just turning the cranks 😆
Cheers I_ache- if you see a similar one give us a shout. The search starts 🙂
Just so I can put up a gratuitous pic here is my Enduro of the same era. I think the 05 and 06 SXs were identical apart from the shock shuttle but the 07s were modified with thicker tubes and more travel.
My Enduro is about 32lbs with Air Lyriks and shock, I don't mind riding it all day but it is certainly more suited to rough DH blasts than slogs over a moor. I would take it over a moor if I knew the DHs warranted it but I have the BFe for longer rides. Plus I can still nail most of my mates DH when I'm on the BFe 😉

How much are you hoping to spend on the shock Hora?
Loved mine. Even managed 36 miles in the Peaks one day on it. I did have to go and lie down for a week afterwards tho. It was SO MUCH fun DH, rather less the other way.
Weakling! I've done 40+ in the Lakes and not been completely dead on my pitch, same/similar build exept for an air shock.
you need to sort the drainage on your lawn out I_ache.

Oi I resemble that remark 😉 I think it was 36lbs. And it had a DHX on it. So pedalling was basically half forward/half up and down. It is the only time I've beaten all my mates down potato alley and Hagg Farm tho 🙂 I also managed to ride that cheeky Vertigo trail without monging myself.
It was bloomin heavy tho. No amount of MTFU made we want to repeat that loop 😉
