This was a brand new frame.
Then why there are no impacts? Or it's been hammered with toy hammer? And why would I destroy new lovely frame which cost 550 EUR + 8 hours spend on paint removing?
Body 700 paint remover + sandpaper + my own hands.
Trying new/extraordinary stuff is always good, so try it, isitafox. Now I have 22-17/14 with rear mech and 170mm cranks and still able to do trials stuff with 22-14, so maybe it'll be ridable with 175 cranks, strong legs and time to get used to.
