2014 Kona Operator Frame M

2014 Kona Operator frame, size M, with RockShox Vivid Air rear shock. Has seen ~30-40 park days in its lifetime and has the wear and tear you would expect (see pictures) but aside from cosmetic considerations the frame is in overall good condition without any structural issues (i.e. no cracking, physical damage on critical stress points, etc). I have tried to capture the key wear & tear points in the photos posted. The Vivid Air was last serviced about 5 park days ago, and the adjustment knobs on the Vivid Air shock are a bit loose but otherwise functional. Headset / fork mounting hardware is included but not shown in the pictures.

One additional issue is at the derailleur cable feed / entry point on the interior of where the top/bottom tubes meet the head tube. The inside-the-tube receiver for one of the bolts has worked its way loose out of the frame - to loosen / tighten the rubber flap where the cable feeds in will require a set of needle nose pliers to physically grasp the bolt receiver while screwing the bolt in. It's more of a cosmetic issue, and if you're handy with epoxy or similar adhesive, you can probably fix this, but you'll want to run the derailleur cable and tighten the bolts on the tube feed-through before mounting the fork -- or simply live with a slightly loose bolt (with the other one being fully secure).

Please hit me up if you want photos taken of additional angles or want additional information regarding the frame. Overall, cosmetic issues aside, the frame is in reasonably good condition and is great for throwing together a DH sled on the cheap. Asking $400 for the frame but willing to consider any reasonable offer.
