I bought a very cheap FSR XC frame a while back so i decided to build it up. It took me 4 mos to build it up to how it is now as i wanted it to be cheap as much as possible ( 17/7 logged in on bike forums to grab cheap bits 
) Im expecting a black fsr 2009 frame to arrive tommorrow so the blue one will be for sale anytime soon. Anyway here it is now.

Here is the new frame in matt black.
Only prob is it is in matt black. I want it to look glossy, Not sure if i could just use a clear spray paint on top of it. Anyone knows?0 -
If you don't mnd my asking, how much did the new frame set you back?
Will look great when its done!We'll see things they'll never see...

I much prefer the black frame and think it'll look better with the rest of your setup.Specialized Enduro SL Pro Carbon

It cost me £170 for the frame. Will start to build it up nxt week as im still deciding wether to make the paint glossy.

i also like the black, that was the original plan for the old frame until i saw this 2009 frame. matt black just doesnt float my boat so thinking of spraying a clear coat over it.0 -
Black frame is going to look nice man, and sounds like you got a good deal on it as well. Black white and red go together a treat.0

I would have thought it would have already been clearcoated...
It will make it look truly unique when its done though.And now you know, and knowing is half the battle

Gloss finish it will be fantastic! Just dont know whether to take it to a paintshop or if it is ok just to buy a spray can and do it myself.0
