CRAP, Im ready to buy the frame but I want someone to have a look at it first. Especially since no one knows this guy.

Kanter,

I know Miguel. It's no scam. I can't vouch for the condition as I have not seen this particular frame. He usually rides his Bullit or V10. I can tell you he's about 5'4" so that explains the short seat post. By the way, all his bikes have MRP single rings. Trying to persuade him to get a DRS so he can ride up hills instead of push up. I left a message for him so I'll try and get some more details.

I spoke to him tonight. I'm sure you can buy from him with confidence. He mentioned you wanted to have Foes refurbish the frame. He doesn't mind delivering it to Foes for you. Then you make the arrangements with Foes to have it shipped direct to you.

Good luck.

I know that guy. I have ridden with him at BB by chance both on his Foes and V10...he's pretty fast but not hard on equipment. Would it help if I say that I passed that frame several times along the trails? :)

Good luck!

Timmo..come on up to fontucky this weekend. I'll help you on your bmxman-esque quadriple setup changes during each practice run. Good excuse to take a break eh?

Well, I couldn't bring myseld to buy a used frame. I bought my wife a 05 Big Hit instead. Im having the frame shipped to Avalanche for a Woody and it will get a Super T on the front. Plus now I can sell her old bike complete instead of transfering everything to the FLY. It was a little cheaper this way.

Thanks for the info TYM.
