Just picked up this great frame from alexpalacefan on here, fantastic condition. Cant wait to get it built up at the weekend!A bargain I might add too.

120mm up front and lightweight components?

This is the build so far, not exactly a light weight build but really doesnt feel too bad!
Just got a couple of asjustments to make but im so pleased with it, never thought I would own a sub 5!

Anyone know what the "strange specific technology" sticker on the frame is all about?

Im really pleased with it the rear shock works a treat and the bike is in fantastic condition. The only thing I needed to do was drill out the ovalised shock mount holes and iv machined up two aluminium bushes to bring it down to the correct shock bolt size (like what are in the old marin shock mount holes) that way I still get to use standard size bolts and bushes that came with the frame

Changed the forks with Rockshox J3's these feel much better then the exr's and the lockout is really handy, I think the red forks look a bit better on it too.
