I have a turner rail, and I love it. so do most people who try it.

4" sounds not much, but sometimes it feels like you have double that.

Frame

Wheels
[url] http://www.flickr.com/photos/71958789@N00/3426852722/sizes/o/ [/url]

I will chuck all of the above in if you like, ie frame, cranks, chain device, shifers, front mech, wheels for 200 + postage. The frame has the usual cable rub and quite a few small scratches but there is no movement in the bearing and I had the shock bushing done recently. i have owned since new in 2006.

drop me a mail on nick(dot)morrish(at)sas(dot)co(dot)uk. I go away on holiday tomorrow until the following thursday,

thanks very much though for the offer. 🙂

not sure how much I'd want for it really, depends what you want.
Full spec is

2004 SGS DH frame (8" travel)
Swinger 4 way spv shock
sunline 1.5r headset
2005 888s (170mm)
Kore B1B 55mm stem
Answer pro-taper DH 2" rise bars
Hayes HFX9s (203 f&r)
Shimano XT 8 spd mech/shifter/cassette
Sram chain
E13 SRS
FSA Pounder cromo ISIS cranks (165mm)
FSA Platinum pro ISIS BB
Freeagent BMX saddle with 8mm cromo rails
Ironhorse front hub on WTB speeddisc DH rim
Taillifer 165mm rear hub on Sun doubletrack rim
Kenda front DH tyre
Specialized DH rear tyre.

frame is 1.5 headtube, 100mm BB and 165mm bolt thru rear axle.
parts build is strong and durable rather than light and racy.
have springs to suit anything from an 11.5st racer to a 14st hucker.

probably after somewhere around £800 for it with a spare rear wheel (IH/Mavic), spare seatpost (1x scoper, 1x normal), spare springs (f&r), spare 888 crowns, Hayes bleed kit. maybe some other spare tyres/parts too. full face lid/armour if you want it.
I still need to service/bleed and fit new pads to the brakes before I can sell it as they are currently stripped off the bike and I also have a brand new sunline headset to fit as the one fitted is getting notchy.

04 Ironhorse SGS DHs came in 3 guises, Pro, Team and WC. all had the exact same frame (but different shocks) and they came in at £2500, £3500 & £4500 respectively.
Mine began it's life as an SGS DH Pro but has very few original parts now.
