So here we have my Trek Session frame up for sale. As you can tell this is no stock frame, it's had custom made graphics by NLDesigns applied, the seatstays are a warranty replacement from a 2017 session and therefore match the colour scheme, the rocker has been powder coated Matt black on the outside and gloss black on the inside with Holographic sparkles. This has definitely been a labour of love and is by far my favourite Project I have ever done and I will miss it but I do not have the need for such a bike at the moment so feel it should go to someone who will love it almost as much as I do and who will get good use out of it.

The Frame was bought in 2016 and eventually I finished building it Mid November. Due to Mock exams and working at the shop in my spare time it subsequently Sat on the top shelf at the bike shop till about March time when I took it to Aston Hill twice and then raced it at the March race. Following this I rode it probably a maximum of 7 or so times before stripping it down and rebuilding it for a trip to whistler. Throughout this time before Whistler it spent most of it's life on the shelf at the shop. It was then ridden in whistler for about 5 weeks during which I used my trail bike for a week and also had some trail days in between so probably rode it about three and a bit weeks whilst out there. During this Trip the headset was replaced near the end and a couple of the bearings were as well. Since then, the 4th of September it has sat in my room and only been ridden twice.

The frame therefore has cosmetic damage as too be expected of something that has been used this much however it is mainly in places such as cable rub and chain slap. I have tried to capture the best angles for every piece of damage down to minor scuffs so please make sure you examine the images to get the best Idea of the frames condition. I do have some spare decals which I have pictures and will include so that if for some reason they get damaged you can replace them, they are individually replaceable as letters so could be used on different sides of the bike for different letters.

So included in the price of £650 is the following: (No shock included)
- Trek Session 8 Frame
- FSA Headset
- Bontrager seatclamp
- The required hardware for the frame
- Matching decals for zee cranks, fox float x2 and boxxer

Specifications of the frame are as follows:
- 157x12mm rear axle
- 83mm BB shell
- 31.6mm Seatube
- 1 1/8th headset but I do have the crown race for a tapered fork
- 8.75" x 2.75" shock eye to eye and stroke length

I have included a picture of when the frame first arrived for me and the first build I had of it for reference as too how much I have changed it and also so you can see it with the single crown fork. It is in various build states in all the photos as this shows what the bike could be like but to be honest its spent the majority of it's life transitioning between all of these. The default photo is the top left one which shows it in it's current guise. I have tried to display what the graphics are like in the various photos and what the powder coating is like but if you are genuinely interested I can upload more, but let me emphasise genuinely!

I do still have most of the parts in all the photos so if there is anything else you need do ask but bellow is a list of the items I will most likely sell as well.

Also Available for the frame is:
- Fox Float X2 Shock with matching graphics (graphics aren't applied yet) Bought new for whistler £350 (Serviced with brand new shock body installed and has had 20hrs of riding on it since)
- Sr Suntour Durolux fork 180mm travel with matching graphics £250 ( Serviced with negative spring changed for softer one, can include firm negative spring, only 20hrs since this)
- Rockshox Boxxer Team 200mm travel Bought new for whistler (matching Graphics not applied but will be included) £545

Postage and Packing will vary depending on buyers location.

Paypal fees will also have to be covered by the buyer which will be Around £30

This frame is ridiculously cheap for it's condition and also considering the decals and powder coating of the rocker so no low ball offers, Price is firm!
