A friend is looking to buy this bike 2nd hand:

It's described as a 2007 Turner 5 spot but 90% of the photos I find of 5 spots have a brace on the top tube, something like this:

Anyone able to confirm what year it is? Thanks in advance.

Brace is size specific I think. Sorry, not familiar enough with pre DW turners to know.

They didn't have a brace on the smaller ones iirc... However weren't 2007 proper four bar where as the one above is a faux bar.

2006-2009 were the TNT (faux bar) so it fits age wise.

I'd guess that's a small frame which I'm fairly certain didn't have the seatpost brace.
Also not sure if they are the original rocker plates or after market ones. You could up the travel yo 5.5 inch with longer rockers IIRC

STW delivers again, thanks all! Had a feeing it was size specific (this is indeed a small)

It has the asymmetric stays which suggests 2008+.
