Has anyone had experience with the s works m5 frame around the year 2005 mark?

considering buying one but would just like to know if anyone has had any experience with them its a frame only so obviously I cant have a test ride

I couldnt find much in the way of reviews on the net

many thanks

It's old now, and they weren't all that light when they were current. Unless it was dirt cheap (<£100) I'd not have one - get an On One Whippet or something.

The year is potentially significant, they changed them in 2006, the newer ones were lighter and more comfy. Got a picture?

Its the earlier one 04/05 listed for 120 and im sure I can get it at 100. I know it would seem an improvement over my current gr aggressor from about 2000. Maybe I might be better getting all the components I want on the gt untill a more modern frame comes up. Oh decisions!!!!

I'd want the whole bike for that.

Still a nice light frame for XC riding.

Seems seriously overpriced to me. Especially considering you can get this for £400

Massively irrelevant comparison, but there are plenty of better options for less.

Yup. We'd all want a 2005 S=Works Stumpy for £120.
