seems strong money with a cracked frame and wheel?

Think he's listed that quite a few times, probably for the reasons Lewis says.

He's been trying to flog this for ages - its been the subject of multiple threads

Anyone who pays £2k needs thier head tested.

I'd like video of him still riding it.
Something tells me it will be along a bike path in the park.

 

[industry_standard]

could the frame be fixed?

 

[toaster999]

Not the expert, but not worth expending any effort or expense on this. You'd have to bin the wheels, (even the 'good' one, given how the other ones been looked after) for a start.

I believe these frames were prone to cracking and a now mostly garage queens only I'm afraid.

Sadly Toster999 is spot on.

Manitous had a rep for being light and this was traded of against long term durability. if it's got a crack (or two in this case!) a good welder could repair them but chances are you'd get/find another one (or two) mind a bad welder could ruin the frame completely!

As for the wheels i doubt it/they could be fixed.

i wouldn't ride a spinergy with any spoke damage at all, the damage they can do is horrible, and they lose all there intrgrity with even a tiny crack
