Cleary the guy has spent a fair amount of money on it, but jeez...not only is the frame going to snap at the front, but at the back too. Note the 203mm rotor.

Noob

Trek 69er wannabe lookalike 😉 Putting a 200mm DH fork on a XC race frame might not be the smartest move, no matter how well colour coordinated it all is. People seem to like it as there is already 14 bids and almost £700.

lol...

assuming its legit, and only been ridden 3 miles, its not actually a bad price at 690 (as it is now). new forks and wheels (and rotors i guess) and its a pretty nice race bike - XO, carbon cranks etc. plus you get some 888s...!

think the guy needs a reality check though!

its a stupid thing to do,

but if its legit (Seems fairly reasonable) then someone could get a bargain...

The frame is more than likely already damaged or stressed from the 4 miles he has done, so much stress on the head tube from the triple clamp forks. So not much of a deal unless you where to just bin the frame and use all the parts i guess.
