I rode this Bike hard for about 4 years, and then sporadically till 2008, when I built a full suspension rig. I am 5’10” 160lbs. This is a great trail bike, light, nimble, and fun. I would still ride it if not for a bad back, I need more suspension than the F3 provides. This bike has a couple of custom, perhaps unique features, one being the double compound bent rear brake routing noodle, the original design took the cable through a plastic sleeve inserted in the seat tube eyelet. The other is a plate which allows the mounting of a Avid BB7 caliper on the AMP Fork with a 160mm rotor. The shifter cables are Gore Ride On’s. I have a link to quite a few pictures and plan on taking more. I would be happy to take any specific photos as requested. A few parts have been replaced over the years, both rims, rear hub, the original Suntour Grease Guard pedals, chainrings and cassettes. I just completed a complete overhaul of the bike. All part were broken down completely, cleaned, inspected, lubed and reassembled. It is ready to ride.
Thanks for looking
