Finally getting around to listing this for sale after stripping it a couple of years ago. I’ve had it over 10 years and would keep it but I have an older Indy Fab that I prefer because of the parts I can use on a rim brake frame.
It’s classed as a 16” but comes up larger. Seat tube is 17.5” c to t, 16” c to c. Top tube is 22” actual, effective horizontal is around 23”. It takes a 1 1/8” headset and the head tube is 119mm. The fork steerer is 199mm and axle to crown is 425mm. Tubing is 853.
It’s built for 26” wheels but I ran 29” with a 38c tyre for a time and it was fine. You couldn’t run a 29” mtb tyre but I would think a 27.5” would clear ok. The ebb means you can tweak the bb height too.
It has IS disc mounts, and standard qr dropouts, 135mm frame, 100mm fork.
It takes a 29.4 seatpost but I’ll include the shim to 27.2 that I used. It takes a 32mm seat clamp.
It uses an EBB to tension the chain. The Phil Wood one original to the frame creaked a bit so I swapped it for a Niner Bio-Centric 2 that was flawless. I’ll include both anyway.
Difficult to price as I’ve had it so long, but I’ll try with roughly what I paid for the frame and forks. £600 plus post, collection in Notts an option.
