Tempted to pick up an FXR second hand, always fancied one, love the look of Foes (the monocoque top tube etc) and would be nice to try out the Curnutt coil shock...

Anyhoo, inspire me with your pics chaps! 8)

beware the cost of the Curnutt- not cheap to remedy a bad one.

Mine cracked 3 times so I chucked it in the metal skip.

Lovely to ride but I'd never have one again- bearings tiny and needed replacements too often, repeated frame failures on front and rear triangles, long repair times including paying import charges ffs, no replacements given and utter p1ss poor customer service from Foes & the old importers for a very very expensive frame.

I hope they are better now but my future money will always go elsewhere.
