Workswell XL carbon XC frame £50// carbon stems, bars, seatposts, Thomson, Easton, Ritchey//freecycle

Will you be collecting the frame too?

Yes, unless you actually want to ship to DK for them?

Nope please collect. The only way I can ship is via parceforce and that would cost almost as much as the frame.

Ok Thanks, I'll have to work down to get to tooting to collect.

Can I ask about frame, just out of interest. What fork was it designed around, 100mm tapered? And How much mud clearance is there at the back? Yours looks a little bit propped up at the front and I can’t see the clearance properly. My carbon 9er had f-all mud room. Lastly vtt of 650mm seems quite nice a long, is it or is that standard for XL?

There's around 10mm of clearance each side with 2.25 tyre. I had a 2.35 semislick in there and did some muddy rides on it. Wasn't the greatest, but not the worst either.
100mm tapered fork. Or 506 A-C.
The reach is on par with other XC hardtails on the market. At 6'3" I find it fits me best with a 70mm stem and 800mm bars. This gives me nice and stretched position. I tried riding it with a 100mm stem but it didn't feel right.

Hi Pit,

I am really sorry but I have been busy until today. I am afraid the headtube is way too short for me.
It is only 125mm right?

Yep 125. I have 50mm of spacers and riser bar on it. It is an XC frame so it's to be expected.
Here dies my hope of not having to deal with evilbay.

Yeah sorry mate. I do fancy a proper light cc bike. But my current mtb is with 100mm forks and a 170mm headtube

That's super nice! Lightweight bikes are great, but bikes that fit well are better.

And there's Kona Honzo CR with 645 stack.

Have seen one of these on a Badgers ride. Is very nice

You and me buddy.
Hench!

Would be a shame if someone made an open mould for it

They already made a mould of you

All energy bars to be in that shape from now on.

Is that a cake mould? I could use a cake right now

Thompson stem still available?

Aye

The frame finally sold. I'll be stripping down my one today as I have something else coming in the post soon. You can have it for a bargain 50 quid.

I have something else coming in the post

Uh oh

Frame for £50?

Yes that is correct.

No gear box, don't get too excited.

As if you'd ever ride anything as heavy as a gearbox
