I still have my 2004 Enduro frame, which hangs on my dining room wall. It still looks amazing, even today.
I retired it back in 2012, replacing it with a 26″ Specialized Camber. To be completely honest, the Camber was far, far stiffer, was better on the climbs and far more capable downhill, despite giving away 12mm of travel. Somehow, it was also lighter too. I swapped the components from my Enduro to my Camber and was blown away as to how far things had moved along in eight years. My Enduro felt a wallowy, steep, flexy mess in comparison.
To build it up and ride it again would be to spoil the memories of riding my old Enduro around trails in the Peaks, Scotland and Wales, of sunny afternoons enjoying a post ride pint and the nostalgia of discovering just how much fun a full suss bike could be. For those reasons, I can never part with the frame. It’s not for sale at any price.
