EDIT:
PRICES REDUCED AND WILL CONSIDER OFFERS ON THE FRAMESET ALTHOUGH £250 IS ALREADY A VERY GOOD PRICE!
I've stripped my 2003 Specialized Enduro Expert 19” (size L) down to frame and here it is for sale with various parts (various bits are included with the frame, the rest are for sale separately). I bought it in stock trim secondhand last year, rode it a few times, then I completely stripped, upgraded and and rebuilt it. Since then I have only ridden it twice as I injured my knee playing basketball last Christmas and it's still not right (my knee that is, the bike was awesome). So a reluctant sale you might say!
Looking for £250 ono posted in UK mainland for the frame with shock plus:
lovely spot varnish patterned Specialized seatpost, Specialized QR seatpost clamp, Specialized chainstay protector, Deore M510 front mech, removable homemade shock mud flap (don't laugh, it works!), outer gear cables (obviously cut to fit the frame), and printed PDF of the Fox shock manual
Will be very well packaged and sent insured via Parcelforce using Senditnow.com
Without a doubt, this is the best bike I've ever owned, but I am pretty much restricted to rides where a hardtail is enough. The 2002-2004 era Enduros are acclaimed and versatile machines, the rear end is adjustable between 100 and 132mm travel and it suits anything from 100-140mm up front (as you can see I used 80-125mm Psylos - also for sale below - but some owners have even fitted monstrous triple clamps to these frame). Builds up to a great 'do-it-all' trail bike, and I have seen these frame go for £300+ on eBay.
Here's a recent photo of it built up at 30.5lbs... full info and frame photos below.
The frame is in very good condition with usual bits of rub, a light suck mark and a few scratches. Here's the manufacturer's blurb:
A1 Premium Aluminum TransForm Monocoque frame, ORE technology down tube, full sealed cartridge bearing pivots, 'Itch Switch' 100/130mm on the fly adjustable travel and flip-flop linkages, replaceable derailleur hanger. Fox Float RL air shock (100-132mm travel adjuster switch + lock-out, rebound adjuster dial + infinite preload adjustment via air valve)...
BB shell helicoiled, rethreaded and faced by BETD last November - this area of the frame is now much stronger than the original aluminium shell which were prone to stripped threads - at cost of £55
You can remove, then flip and re-fit the suspension linkage - this reduces headtube angle from 70.5 to 69.5 degrees and BB height by 0.4" - though it's not ever been done to this frame.
