Re: Scott Strike G-Zero Team Issue frame - spares or repair Any takers for this very light piece of history? I've got a good condition Fox Float RL shock I can include for a bit more money if that's of interest!

So after 7 years sitting in my garage I'm finally selling this beauty for someone else to revive! It has a crack on the chain stay and on the shock mount sadly. You can see details and advice on possible fixes/ leads for replacement arms on these thread which has pictures of the bike built up...

Good shout. I'll give it a go but I already have the (untested) sense that these huge bike brands won't give a s**t if its not a model they are still trying to sell. I am resigning myself to hardtail mediocrity for the foreseeable future - unless someone has a nice low/mid-travel XC/AM frame...

Yea I guessed that when I saw the crack on the shock anchor point! I had a bog standard G-zero lined up to scavenge for a swingarm but it turns out its sold. Hmmm I guess I will have to wait around and spend more money than I should because I hate to give up on that CF mainframe and such a...
