2012 New Medium RIP 9 Frame w/King headset; Price Cut

2012 Niner RIP 9 29er raw finish frame, size medium, with installed Chris King headset, custom valved Fox RP23 shock, and seatpost clamp. I'm selling this for a buddy of mine who's a bike freak. He put only 25 miles on this frame and headset, decided to buy a RIP 9 RDO carbon frame, and stripped the parts off this frame. So this is an essentially new frame and headset looking for a home. It's in beautiful shape, just a few minor scratches, easily 9.8 out of 10. I had an older RIP in the same color, and loved its handling. The clear-coated finish is very durable. The 2012 model has a 1 degree slacker head angle and improved headset design. It comes with dropouts for 135 quick release rear hubs, but kits are available from Niner for 142x12 or 135x12 thru axle hubs. See here for geometry and build specs: http://www.ninerbikes.com/
