Sold the Titus, so this one stays!

I'm seriously considering selling my much loved and upgraded Turner 5 spot frame and parts.
It is the last of the Horst link models, has RP23 shock, and 5.5 rockers (for 5.5" rear travel).
It is available as a complete bike less forks and brakes. (I want to keep them for my next frame).
Ideal forks are 125-140mm fox Talas or Float, or similar.
Parts include:
Turner 5 spot frame, Large with Fox RP23 and also a spare Romic coil shock
XT crank and rear cluster
SRAM X9 rear derailleur and shifters
XT front derailleur
Choice of quality seat, seatpost and stem to suit your fit if needed
I can include a bike build with your fork brakes and wheels.
Overall the bike is in perfect working order, just some wear of the paint in the usual spots.

This is been an amazing bike for Sydney trails and has consistently good reviews by all the press and forums. MTBR Review: http://www.mtbr.com/cat/bikes/allmtn-full-suspen...... (this is for the non-horst bike, the horst version is even better imho.)
It is a wonderfully balanced bike to ride, climbs well (efficiently), descends brilliantly and is made by one of the respected boutique makers in the USA (Not a Taiwan build). Current build is around 12.5-12.7 kg.

Reason for sale: I'm looking at upgrading to a new carbon frame for racing this year, and one of the bikes 'has to go'. It has been my weekend 'fun' bike, just a bit too heavy to have as a second race bike, although was excellent as my 'night' bike at the Scott24 this year. Price negotiable depending on the parts included in the deal, but looking around $1300 as above.

Frame alone was $3000 before the addition of new rockers and RP23 shock.
If interested PM or call me for more info, a test ride or to discuss further.
