FSOT 18" Voodoo D-jab. Now frame only £500 ono

[keitht]

Got this to replace the Cove. In a sort of I wish I had never sold the Cove sort of moment.

Anyway, its a little too big for me. Turns out Voodoo sizes out a little larger than normal, and although I have tried, it really is a touch big...more like a 19" than an 18".
She is in excellent fully working condition. Forks are like new, shifting is smooth, brakes are recently bled.
( Child seat carrier not inc, or rear light. )

3AL/2.5V Titanium frame with oversized tubing. Not the lightest in its class, but a very tough capable chassis.
Sliding dropouts for SS use if required.

Well specced, and with little use. I changed a few components when I bought her inc the WTB/DT Swiss wheels, stem, seatpost, pedals, XTR mech, new cassette and chain. Full spec listed below.

This is not your Halfords/basic spec version. But a far superior custom built XC trail weapon.
More pics on request.

£900 or swap for something comparable in a 17" ( or true 18" ).

Just some extra info on the sizing: Top tube length is actually the same as the equivalent Kona. It's has an extra 2" or so standover due to the higher bottom bracket and chunkier tubes.

I don't find my 20" big when riding, only when straddling. Obviously it has a fairly upright riding position like other long travel hardtail.

Thanks for that.

This link goes to the sizing chart for 2011...not much has changed I think.

Voodoo D-Jab

That is crazy travel on that fork. That may be your problem there. Although this frame is specd for 100mm- 140mm forks, I contacted Voodoo and asked about if there was any chance of going lower without stressing the headtube. They agreed 80mm would not cause a problem.

I personally have an 18" 2005 D-Jab 650b with an 80mm travel fork which drops it right down. (Better on single track my set up.) Really, it sits and rides like a 16", leaving a good standover height.

Thanks, I appreciate the input.

I had considered that, but now have another frame to put the parts on...

Though if the frame doesn't sell soon, I may end up keeping her as a SS...and will bear the 80mm fork option in mind.

Cheers Keith

I know it's a long shot but do you happen to have the rear brake mounts to run v-brakes on it? I have a d-jab but need the bolt on post adapters. Thank you
