Thanks guys. the existing bearings are loose, the guy that sold me the frame kept saying it was a 2009, but all the pieces he gave were what was standard on a 2007. I did know that going in so not a big deal. I just got a set of the mechanic sti for ... more »

so only a month in and we are swapping frames. new one is a mirraco blend 2, I am trying to figure out what sealed headset bearing would be appropriate. Pretty sure its a 2007 and the stock headset is labeled as 1 1/8" VP A-74 Aheadset. we had trouble ... more »

20" not positive on the weight, I ve seen it discussed as over 7lbs. The thrillseeker completes were over 30lbs.

I have a bad pic of the serial number, but have decided to pass on it anyhow. We (my kid & I) have been picking up parts here and there to build. Came across this in the process. It is really clean looking, but the unknown factor scares me away. ... more »

hmm, all chromoly frame & fork? edit: answered my own question. looks like most of their completes are full chromo, but without knowing the model I couldnt be sure.

$100

Thanks, not sure if we should chance it. It does have animal bars, 3 piece crank, but no clue about frame and forks.
