Any interest in my IF Deluxe?
I picked up this frame and hand-picked my parts with an eye towards a bombproof New England hardtail. I made two errors ~ estimating my ability and even my interest to really go fast off-road and how much fun a full-suspension would be. Accordingly, this bike really hasn't seen much use.
Build includes 8 speed 9.0SL shifters and rear derailleur, XTR brakes, King headset, RaceFace Turbine LP crankset, Marz Z-2 fork, and my biggest splurge, a custom built hubset/wheelset from a spectacular wrench/wheelbuilder in Virginia named Ed Jones who's got parts (and an amazing reputation) in the Richmond area.
Size is 18". Color is the classic IF orange.
Though I cringe to think of what I have invested, I'd love to see $1000 for it or would consider a trade for a comparable road or cross bike or an interesting full-suspension (more cross-country style than all-mountain).
A quick picture can be found on the IF page at http://www.ifrider.com/orange-deluxe-5/
I can shoot any higher resolution pictures that you might be interested in.
I'm in southern Vermont if you want to inspect yourself.
PM or email me if interested.
