Apxadct76 on June 20, 2025 2:08 am Don’t even think twice about purchasing that frame!! Recipe for disaster!!
National_Estate_5761 on June 20, 2025 2:13 am Asymmetric chain stays are very common on full sus frames
boiled_frog23 on June 20, 2025 2:33 am Fifteen hundred bucks new at Competitive Cyclist. The question remains, is it worth the difference buying this one used? There’s a warranty buying new.
