If you have some photos of your cracks could please show it?


P.S. Does this frame worth to start custom building? Almost all other components I will try to buy new.

If the frame is fine, there is no reason why it wouldn't be worth it

Why not just buy the brand new AL model for $2700?

$1,500 for a 4 year old DH frame without a shock? Too much $$$ IMO.

Question for folks with this LG1+ crank. I went to remove the cap on the drive side and it spun a few times then got tight again. Is this normal and part of some self extraction or should I not force it past this point? I’ve never had a self extracting crank before and I know some require special tools.

Alot of those cranksets need the specific e13 tool to remove them.

Yes they have changed. But he was probably referring to the abuse a DH frame has gone through in 4 years.

I dig the color. I used to have a Capra that color.

If no any visual signs of cracks - it meants that frame will live some more time?
I never had a deal with carbon so I dont know how it behaves within years of using.

P.s. sorry for bad engl.

Looks real nice. If they did an Al model with the CF Pro Race suspension, I would def consider it for my next bike. Either way, I'm probably going to get a TUES for 2019.
