I bought the frame cracked. It was welded by a bike frame specialist. I bought it for personal use, after the frame was fixed I used it for 3-4 months without any problems or new cracks. The unfortunate state of the bike industry allowed me to buy a 29er enduro frame so I’m now selling this frame.

the welds:

the top tube had a really slim cut (the welder assumes it was a warranty case) it was welded

the main crack was the chain stay gusset or that in between part, it formed a crack but didn’t cracked all the way trough. it wast welded and reinforced with a soild piece of aluminum from the top and bottom. I left the welds without paint, its easier to identify new cracks, and doest look like Im trying to hide something.

about the frame:

it was the Focus’s enduro race platform in 2016. The geometry more like a trailbike with today’s standards. I used with a 170mm zeb and a vivid shock (which im selling separately) recommended fork 160mm. Btw the frame taravel is 160mm. bearings are good and the linkage moving without noise.
