Not C/V but handmade by CV's favourite welder ... Frank !

I mostly just thought it was neat a frame made by FTW was all the way up here / for sale. If I didn't have another year of Uni to pay for I think I'd be having my first modern MTB experience.

FOR SALE: My beloved 2009 Sinister "Ridge" Mountain Bike in excellent condition. This all purpose mountain bike is well maintained and is never abused. The aircraft quality 6061 T6 aluminum frame is a Medium which is 17.5" from center of the crank to the top of the seat tube. The frame was purchased separately and is built up with 2009 components.

Some of the components are listed below:

Forks: White Brothers Fluid 140
Brakes: Avid BB7 Brake levers with mechanical disc brakes with 8" rotors
Headset: FSA 1 1/8"
Stem: FSA Orbit billet style
Handlebar: Race Face Evolve with ODI lock on grips
Shifters/Derraileur: SRAM S7 with 9 speed cogs
Seatpost/Saddle Thomsom Elite 30.9 seatpost with WTB saddle
Cranks: Truvative Hussefelt
Wheels: Sun Singletrack Rim (front)
Sun S-Type Rim (rear)
Tires: Kenda

This bike is one of the best bike I've ever ridden and the craftsmanship of the frame is second to none. Hand welded in the USA by 'Frank the Welder', these are possibly the greatest all round frames ever made.The frame and fork alone is more than $1000.00.

Sinister is a small frame manufacturer located in the hills of New Hampshire. Famed welder, FTW (Frank the Welder), or Frank W, has been building frames for over 20 years. He has done it all, including designing and building bikes for the likes of Tomac...
