Not mine, it was the bike the XT brakes came off.

Been pondering, don't really want to get rid of this, love 'dales but wanted a newer frame with better geometry so can have option of running discs so something came up and jumped at it.

This will be for sale in the next few weeks, spec-list has been updated.

Issue is just done to inadequate steerer length it would seem.
