the 2007's are better than the 08/09 frames that followed (the 08/09's are prone to cracking at the shock mount) the 07's had better geometry with a slacker front end.
nice frame for somebody looking to build a 5in all day bike especially with the rp23

(i have nothing to do with the seller BTW)

I agree, the loss of the rear triangle made them fugly, the decals didn't help much either. the one thing they did get right was the f.dérailleur cable routing which I had to fix with an XTR gear cable guide to get it to work sweetly. I'll advise new owner on the trick.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
