There's no Pro Carbon Enduro for '09 so should anyone be in the market for such a ride at a real bargain then here it is. Personally I reckon Gaz should demand more for it, due it's condition, yet that's a whole other story. Want a carbon Enduro? '09 spec? Buy the S-WORKS. Even if I gave mates rates, that's $10,000.
And for those folk who get all concerned about suspension travel and feel that they don't really need a bike with all that travel, then I say this;
Nonesense.
If I was designing bicycles (imagine that...Delicious Bicycles Australia) then we (the bike buying public) would have available 100mm travel dualies with coil suspension both ends and the angles of a DH racer.
Until then, a bike with a sizeable amount of squish is best, and only then will one receive the geometry that is optimum for local, and usually rocky terrain.
Unless, of course, you already own a Santa Cruz Blur Four Cross. For any who do, would you also obtain for me some rocking horse shit and some hens teeth? Please?

I have to sell one of my bike frames to make way for a new one, both are large size
5.5": Turner 5 Spot with cockpit and drivetrain (no wheels forks brakes): http://nobmob.com/node/7509
or
4": Titus Racer-X frame: http://nobmob.com/node/7586

These are both class units from boutique USA manufacturers, and have consistent rave reviews in the press and forums.
I can help with the bike builds (Bike Whispering) should it be needed.

Will someone do themselves a favour and buy some of the quality bikes for sale on here
Never has there been a worse time to buy new
But never a better to buy second hand by the looks of things
Every day these 2 frames of Whisperers taunt me
Not to mention gazza's enduro
Have mercy - It's more than I can stand

I'm sure this is below your mates price range, but i've going to post a Mongoose Teocali Comp Large on Ebay in great nick probably this weekend. Frame is Comp, the rest of the gear is from Super series.

Not sure of a price for it, so i'm starting it at $0.01 and letting market forces do there thing. I'll be sure to let people know when it's online.

Let me know if your mate wants some further info.
