:shock: Someone needs a lesson in the effects of shock setup on bike handling!

Yeah have messaged him but he isnt having none of it, no actually i have commented on one of his photo's too!
But was tempted myself. Would be right as rain with the right shock on there as long as its not buggered.

Keep an eye on ebay and the classifieds as frames/complete bikes still appear occasionally.

MrOs have a habit of cracking at the seat spar and the bearing housing (there's no through-axle so the monocoque takes all the strain) so 'in theory' there are some trashed frames with salvageable swingarms out there.

Failing that, get a good machine shop to fix the broken swingarm.

Despite their faults they're worth persevering with as they're such a versatile frame.

This one's not attracting many bidders...

You could probably sell the shocks, headset and seat clamp and still be left with a useable swingarm and spare frame for minimal outlay .
