"I bought just the frame second-hand, but it had never been used. The overall experience was pretty good. Handling rough terrain on a bike with 'only' 150mm of rear travel felt surprisingly capable—it felt like much more. Climbing was light and effortless. Unfortunately, the paint scratched very easily, and some layers peeled off without much effort. The rear bottom bearing actually fell out when I disassembled the rear triangle, and since I didn't have the original receipt, I had to fix it with a bit of epoxy."
