Selling my Ventana X5/Marzocchi 4X frameset -- it is in great shape and comes with a few extras. The frame features a custom linkage and Fox Air Shock to reduce the travel and ride height for Slalom, Slopestyle and Freeride pinning. It gets 3 inches of travel and the reduced bb height makes it slash corners and very stable. The 20mm thru axle air fork also has a travel reduction from 115mm to 95mm. It absolutely rips under power w/no pedal bob, and it manuals like crazy. The bike just generates speed through rhythm and corners w/the suspension geometry. I rode it to 6th place in the NORBA US Nat'l Dual Slalom Champs @ Mount Snow this past summer, and onto the podium in 4th in 4-Cross @ Deer Valley, Utah in '06. It is also the same frame that Chris Van Dine landed the first ever Barrel Roll back flip in competition upon @ the Sea Otter. History here.
$500.00 takes it. As stated, it is in excellent shape. Comes with a King Headset and Easton Carbon seat post. I will also include some Profile 175mm cranks (which are pretty whooped). For $100.00 more you can get a Truvative handlebar and DMR DH stem plus the MRP chainguide.
Perfect setup for someone looking to get into Slalom/4X/slopestyle or for a light duty freeride bike, or even a great heavy duty XC bike.
I can send photos if you need.
