2003 orange 223 frame - £280

[sam264]

Thinking of selling my orange 223 frame, size large (17"), probably suit someone 5ft10 and above. It was powdercoated a year or two ago i think, and the paint is alright, not great. Some scratches and stuff in places, but it still looks good.

This will be for sale with the shock (2010 Vivid R2C), I will also include the seatpost and clamp, FSA big fat pig headset (1.5-1.125 step-down), it's a bit rough but usable. Also comes with spare pivot bearings, however the current ones are still fine.

head tube is 1.5 with a 1,1/8" reducer fitted, BB is 73mm, rear wheel is 12x150mm, and I have a wheel I can include for an extra £40.

I'm looking for around £280 for it + postage

that looks like its going fast just parked there and yes its pretty in a get the fck outta my way kinda pretty!

 

[sam264]

Lol, cheers! Don't think this is for sale now - you're right though, it's a bit of a beast! Still going strong for an old frame though, it's been raced a couple of times this year, and spent a fortnight in the alps and held up better than I did!

Now for sale again, but without spare headset, but including the vivid R2C and a new price - £280.

Hi
straight off I can tell you the shock mounts on the swing arm are a wee bit ovalised (or at least they look it), however for some reason, once all bolted up and tightened, there is absolutely no play. It's survived two races, a fortnight in the alps and general use several times a week since then and it's not gotten any worse. I can take photos though.

Also, the pinch bolt on the non-drive side has stripped and there is no bolt on there. It's been like that since I got it, but the drive-side pinch bolt is fine, so I've just been using it like that without a problem, as did the previous owner.

I'll get some photos later anyway
