Bit pricey in my opinion but may float someones boat.

Agreed. The parts don’t warrant that kind of asking price

Too true...the i-beam, ergo grips and (arguably) the tyres are instant value reducers. Paint combo is maybe a touch marmite as well - lovely frame though

Yep I like the frame. I know Splashbacks were popular when they came out but I think they look terrible and ruin any bikes that wears them!

 

[johndeverill]

It's also tripled in price!!

I thought the spec was a bit iffy for what is probably a nice riding frame. Certainly at that price.

He's got a nice looking Fire Mountain in small size too

I saw that a few days ago. Also overpriced imo

I've a Caygill 653 MTB frame that's very similar in detail, right down to the cable stops, bet they're close in build dates. Lovely frames, could be a nice thing that with a bit of love and nicer post, bars etc.

653 - Was a mixed tubeset with a 531pro main triangle. Stays used 753r and fork blades were borrowed from the 531c tube set.
