Superb condition (was not used at all between 2009-2012). All welds, threads and mounting points are excellent. Some wear marks to decals. Cable rub protective tape is fitted and there is absolutely no cracks or crash damage. This really is the ultimate hardtail frame... great handling, light weight and with the super durability of USA-made titanium. Only selling as I now only ride my 29er SS.
£600 ovno (inc UK courier delivery, EU will be extra)
