Sunn Xcircuit UN 999

[longbeech]

Just got this frame off ebay and wondered if the Sunn affectionados could give some pointers.
Its a small frame - 355mm to top of seat tube.
What fork setup should be on this frame - I have a couple of obsys that will look good.
It has TRIAL stamped on the BB - is this a trials (as in the discipline) frame or one that was loaned?
The serial number starts S99 is it a 1999 build?



Any help appreciated

You outbid me on this!

I think it's a trials specific frame (from the headtube gusset, as well as the BB stamp) so you'd be best putting a rigid fork on there. No idea how it'll ride on a trail or a suspension fork on it.

If you change your mind I'll give you what you paid for it, even let you make a modest profit!

I will bear that in mind Rumble!

From what I can find out the early trials bikes were beefed up small frame XC units, Hans Rey was using a 14 " GT and the others including Sunn followed suit.
If the same is true of this one I would like to see how it works before making any plans.
The guys in France should be able to shed some light!

[longbeech]
