I just can't leave this alone... ha ha. It comes back to this EVERY time. These are hard to get hold of anywhere and especially in a 17"

Job looks like it may be OK, and hopefully shall be selling my GT Force as I am using just the Marins now, and don't have the room anymore..

Gorgeous (although I am aprehensive of the whole 'ebay' thing

It's the only frame I could justify getting over my indian fire trail!!! 8)

And remember that God rides a Marin!

    Couldnt see me doing much slopestyle TBH :lol:

    I love my Quake much more though, Ill love it even more when I get my new full Saint drivetrain!!! 8)

    It can literally do everything, lower the saddle and you can DH/FR

    Raise it and it make a slightly heavy hardcore AM rig......

    I have been harping on about getting one for the last 2 years....

    I do really want it, but need to sell one of my rigs first, too many bikes, not enough riding, the IFT will get used all this summer, so the frame would get used and be a nice thing to have seeing that they are not made anymore.. and they are Lynksey made! :wink: 8)

    And another good thing is that all of my parts will fit straight on without faffing around.

    I also suppose I could claw back £250-300 for my IFT frame as it's in as new condition!

    Yup Cheesey, was just about to say that.

    You don't need to sell any of your bikes, just the IDF frame only (and any other bits you want to swap out :wink: ), then it's just a case of bolting on the bits of your old bike (I say old...).

    Hey presto, a bike you always wanted, for a discount price - however much you sell your frame for - and no more bikes.

    AWESOME.

    Soooo.... DO IT. DO IT NOW!
