This is my eleanor

I bought this frame last year and the sale fell through in canada, fingers crossed this time.

I have been searching everywere for this frame, I know its not new 2010 frame , but I love the colours, and now going to buy some Reba teams in white and red and build up my dream bike and sell the Full Suss.

Dont ask me why, but love Rocky mountain, Was looking for an old school silver Zaskar, but could never find one.

Let me know your thoughts, going to strip my current bike that has full XT all around, and get as much canadian colours as poss.

Also my dad is going to have it delivered to his place in canada, so duty should be kept to a min, as he is coming here in a couple months, and he is bringing it here as a 50.00 gift on the plane

    £190.00 cant complain, lets hope all goes well in transit.

    about 4000miles from quebec to edmonton, then about 20,000 miles to here.

    That frame is going to do some miles.

    Thanks mate

    That's a really nice frame, when I bought my scandium hard tail frame in 2005 I really wanted the scandium vertex. Trouble was it was £1000!
    I did manage to get a Rocky Mountain last year though, the same colours as that one but the single pivot Element 50 full sus.
    You can get the maple leaf Formula K24 brakes on Ebay quite easily, they came spec'ed on my RM & set it off nicely.

    Would love those K24's but just got some great XT breaks that cost a fortune.

    All I am going to do for now, is, Forks, seat post and possible saddle.

    I am transfering :
    Ritchey carbon bars and triple axes stem
    xt brakes, chaninset and wheels.

    Cant wait, but going to be a couple months until I see the frame, because if my dad posts it will cost a fortune through customs, so he is bringing on the plane as a gift.
