I know i know but haven't got a clue what to put this up for.Near mint 2009 spicy 516(L) frame in medium flavor.All new bearings just fitted from our favorite Scottish bearing supplier. 😉
Advise would be welcome.

What shock and when was it serviced (if at all)?

£250-£350-ish depending on answer IMO.

Don't know what to do with the shock yet.It's got a mint condition custom tuned(LOCO)dhx 5 coil with Ti.Two Ti's available 325 and 350
Done approx 20 hours after it was fully serviced at mojo this can be verified by Si at loco.
Think the shocks worth more than the frame. 😉
It is the L frame though so this will degrade the price a bit.

Sadly it's probably not.

I've been trying to shift a mint Pushed Van RC to no avail.

Keep the shock and make sure new bike takes same size maybe?

Large size shouldn't be a problem, long bikes are fashionable dontcha know.

Yer already considering that chakaping as the shock is just sweet.
Maybe cut up frame and weigh in in as ally. 😉
Being an L it will be hard to get rid of.Shame as it is an absolute hoot to ride.
This wee beastie.

516(L) frame in medium

So is it medium or large?

Dont worry about size, I recon since the fad for small frames died a death its almost 50:50 in what people are riding medium and large.

I'd buy a cheap large frame if the shock was OK for my weight.

Hang on a sec, does L mean it's for ladeez?

If so was the geometry actually any different? or did it just come with narrow bars and a different saddle originally?

Medium frame but it is the L version.It has flowers on it... 😆
Look where the top tube meets the seat tube.

The L stands for ladies shaped frame, around ten mm smaller in tt and seat tube length compared to the men's version.
