Sinister R9 - Famous Frank the Welder Downhill Bike

If you know what this bike is, you will know how rare they are... and what a killer ride they are still to this day. If you don't know what this bike is, look up Frank The Welder, and the Sinister R9 to get some of it's history.

This bike was lovingly restored after procuring the frame from the father of one of the original Sinister r9 team riders.

My son loves this bike, and every time he takes it to the mountain people ask him about it or comment on it (when they know it). He had offers from folks wanting to buy it in the past, but hasn't wanted to part with it. Now, he's gotten a bit too big for it, and is looking to fund the purchase of a new enduro bike.

- Chris King Front Hub
