Two questions about this frame

Firstly what is the min/max travel for it can take?
Have there been any problems in general with these frames?

Thanks! :)

    did not exist.

    the faith was a 2006 bike/frame.

    where are the sellers?

    where did they buy the frame?

    in the UK Europe it was a 2006 model version.

    dont think it is it was only around for one year 2006

    but short and heavy. can take a 200mm fork has a 150mm rear axled hub.

    maybe the fact it was only around for a short time might tell you something.

    Hmm OK thanks. Been put off now :lol:

    Found a cheap Patriot frame. Could I run it with some 160mm domains?

    i have faith frame pritty heavy but it rides really nice and never heard of any frame problems and mines seen alot of abuse! currently have boxxers on the front and feels good, its good for the money if you only freeride and dh occasionaly like me, picked mine up for 500 squid fully built up with some good components so cant complain.
