A four year old Fisher aluminum frame that's been ridden to bejeezus and back, with Santa Cruz stickers on it, bent brake bosses, and "jackss" CARVED into the top tube. Please let me build that up and trust my health to its integrity.
All that nonsense aside, would YOU buy a bike from a guy with Jeff Gordon bedsheets?
This may be the dumbest thing I've seen since the Fisher Paragon with eight-spoke Shimano wheels...and a Dorado (I think...something massive and double-crown) fork to make it a proper downhill rig.

A freeride DH? out of a straight gauged 7005 alloy frame? Sheesh!

Nothing wrong with straight gauge 7005 alluminum 😉 I've done like a 2.5' drop with it and it held up just fine. err, my Kaitai, that is - same frame, just a couple years older. Don't think I'd take it on the DH/DS course tho...

2.5 on an XC hardtail isn't out of the question...of course, we know how to land properly, and can probably discern the difference between "use" and "abuse." I get the feeling someone who would carve "jackass" in a frame can't make that distinction 🙂
And again, I am so not down with NASCAR as interior design.

Hey, you mean you don't think POS dumpster-special frames are worth spending $100+ to have them reconditioned?

Do you really think his "other bike is a Super 8." Yeah, riiiiight. He has a photo of a Super 8 torn out of a magazine and is saving up his allowance to buy one in about 5 years.

That's different...fixing something that was thrown away is like giving birth to a new bike (which sounds painful). Putting parts on that frame would be like falling in live with a prostitute: they are both completely worn out and past the point of no return.

It's one of those XR-100s with "Super 8" keyed into the down tube. And a Dale Earnhardt sticker on the headtube.
