After some years, various weight weenie incarnations but embarrassingly little actual use - it's time to move on my 2007 Viper Scandium frame. Most of its history in different setups is recorded in this thread: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=249295.
In all honesty my MTB years are largely behind me and during the period I've owned this frame I've started to ride on the road and then really got much more into that. This autumn I started to plan to rebuild this frame as a gravel bike with the full carbon rigid fork (again there are some threads on this!), but I just got lazy last week and bought an actual gravel bike!
It's 16" centre to centre, 18" centre to top, which I imagine is a Medium but it's not marked. I'm a fraction under 6ft and I'd say I was near the top end of what it's suitable for height-wise. In the photos on the thread above you can see what saddle height I had it at. For QR axle, standard 135mm dropouts. The frame weighs 1516g including the titanium bosses and headset cups, so a little under 1500g bare weight.
It will come with a complete fitted headset including crown race (1&1/8" non-taper), an 11g Woodman Death Grip SL Ti 31.8 Seatpost Clamp, titanium bosses, and a 205g Easton EC70 27.2 seatpost which has some inexplicable damage to the metal part at the top (a hole which had been filled with resin I picked it off to see what it was!) but has been used without any issue for ages.
Condition-wise it's all in good order with only minor marks, let me know if more photos are required.
