    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.

    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? 😉

    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.

    Nice. I love custom Ti hardtails.

    😆 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 fecker I just bought a cheap ti frame from China

    Riding the mile down to the Marble Beer House where it will look ridiculously out of place, nestled among the fixies outside 😆

    At the risk of opening a right old can of worms: what forks are going on it?

    Free Member

    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.

    The best forks. 2011 TST2 shimmed stacked/converted 55’s of course. Glad I took the risk voiding the warranty doing that mod.

    I’m selling a 09 Enduro BTW not the earlier one.

    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

    Do they have any more for sale Hora?

    Sadly not but crazyknowledge on here who sold it to me seems to have alot of new/old stock

    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.

    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 (8.75×2.6″) 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 🙂
