Post by: Jonny on January 22, 2015, 05:53 PM: HAHA yeah, iit isn't mine. The guy is saying it's a Suntour frame. But i didn't think Suntour made any frames? After looking into it a little they had a race team BITH, briefly but people seem to think it was a ready made frame by another company stickered up as a Suntour frame. I think no matter how rare a frame is you would find some info on it somewhere, no? The only reason you wouldn't is if your looking for something that doesn't exist???

The forks look like Asiku and like you say the frame looks kind of cheap.

Post by: Jonny on January 22, 2015, 05:55 PM: Yeah, Chris. That's where i seen it early today. After messaging the guy a few times he's making out it's the rarest frame ever made! I thought i'd post it up on here to see if it was worth a punt!

Post by: Jonny on January 22, 2015, 05:57 PM: In saying that it did come with nice Suntour components that are listied in his other auctions, so who knows.
