Never buy used from a pinkbike member They fail to mention cracks. Spent over 400 restoring the damn shit and it snaps on a f*cking bunny hop



And because of that i have my own swingarm Smile now it's perfect.
I also changed goemetry and it rides way better
64' HA instead of 66',
343mm BB height instead of 359,5mm,
425mm chain stay instead of 440mm stock

Holy crap I was just about to throw out the triangle but I think I'm gonna hold on to it. There is still possible life. What bike is that swing arm from? Looks like an old Rocky Mountain Pipeline.

Swingarm is cr-mo and it's build from scratch and because of that I could change mounting points and geo of the frame.
It also has adjustable travel between 165-195mm but I use only 195mm

Now I’m trying to build another swingarm Geo will be the same but travel only 200 and 180mm and added adjustable chainstay 425 or 440mm

Hi guys after years of always wanted one I have finally bit the bullet and bought myself a Large 08 Iron Horse Sunday.

To be honest with you its in great condition but I want to make it into my own custom beast.

First things first before I take this sucker apart and strip it ready for paint does anyone where i can get my hands on some actual decal sheet for this size frame I've seen some fro the M/17" frame but didn't realise the decals were frame size specific.

If that fails Id like just the normal Iron Horse sticker that I have seen on the down tube from the 08/09 Factory and WC models even thou there seems to be a few people making them and selling them on eBay they still seen to look a little crude aka not perfect and the size looks a bit different from what i have seen on Sam Hills bike when he was riding for them back in the day.

Cheers

So happy to of got one in great condition in size large I have big plans for it but the stickers I've seen getting around on eBay which are custom made by people just look a bit odd and i want the real deal.

Sounds nice, I want these ones pictured on Sam's bike I've seen a few people making them but I'm a stickler for detail so i need them to be exact these look quite long but the ones I've seen on eBay seem quite short 270mm ? and then the bigger ones I've seen on i think its slim graphics seem a little different to this font only slight bit as i said I want things to be exact
