Specialized Camber EVO FSR with Pike RCT3 150mm forks
$370 GBPHi Folks,
Selling my Spesh Camber EVO, large with the forks I've been running in it.
Trail bike of the year 2013!
I had it set up as a mullet bike (27.5 rear,29 front).
It was a good bike before that but excellent with the conversion.
Its got a fair amount of stone chips to the paintwork.
The Rockshox Monarch RT3 has a little fading to the fast black coating on the shaft but holds air 100%
The Forks are Pikes RCT3 with 150 travel in trail adjust version. In VGC.
BB is functional but a little rough.
Enduro guard comes with the forks.
The front mech is included. (not that you'd probably want it)
Any questions get in touch by text, and be quick or its going OS with me.
Its a very good deal for £370
Cheers

Love the innovation your already showing at an early stage!!

RIP Dan Hanebrink: Inventor, Competitor & Mountain Bike Pioneer
I remember that photo of Dan and Brian when it first graced the pages of MBA. It was jaw dropping stuff at the time and remember having so many questions about the design.
It fully inspired me, and I rapidly got into frame building because of it.
RIP Dan you were way ahead of the curve with your brilliant mind.

Op-ed: Another Lifetime - Journalist Meets Framebuilder
A Jig.. No, but you must have a datum/inspection table as a minimum and , no a piece of MDF just won't cut it.
A frame NEEDS to be perfectly inline ,not just close.
There simply are no shortcuts, as I believe a certain frame builder this side of the pond found out on PB this very year.
To RC, I was one such builder back in the Mid 80's early 90's. And after nearly 25 years I built a frame again for myself
I suspected I would no longer be able to Fillet braze, but just like riding a bike, it never leaves you.
