-2003 Banshee Scream frame, 19" (but sized smaller than most, suits me and I'm 5'10"), Fox RC shock with adjustable compression and rebound. Bottom bracket height, steering angle and suspension travel all adjustable, 6/7/8" travel settings

-Marzocchi Monster T forks with 7" travel and adjustable rebound/preload, aftermarket CNC machined top crown (stiffer and stronger).

-Diatech two piston hydraulic disc brakes, 200mm rotor front, 180mm rear.

-Felt Cro-mo 3 piece cranks, Truvative ISCG chain guide, 38t stainless chainring

-Dice twosix/speedhub 20mm axle front wheel, dice twofour/dabomb sealed bearing hub rear, Maxxis tyres

-Azonic bars and azonic shorty stem, azonic headlock, Oury grips

-Tioga seat

-HTI pedals with replaceable studs

-shortcage derailleur

I don't get to ride it much any more, in fact it was only built up in September last year with all new components including the frame (but not the forks), and it hasn't been ridden since early December. The complete back wheel and the rear brake hose will be brand new, but otherwise most of the other components have less than 1-1/2 months work.

It would cost upwards of $5k to build this new, frame alone is worth $3k new and is 1-1/2 months old,

Looking for $2750 + freight (we can negotiate something on freight, like half each).

Bike is in Hobart but can be freighted anywhere.

Ok, now I've got pics, here we go...

A couple of specs have changed since then (just tyres actually, the tioga front was faulty and blew a bead out a day after the pic so its got a high roller on now) and the back wheel will be different. Oh and the lower roller is on the chainguide now, I had the wrong bolt so it wasn't fitted in that pic.

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/  
    • Yeah dunno why johhny posted that here with no context, just post on FB/insta bro where he put it up?  Laine had an off at T4 during Thurs prac, he's ok, car is less than perfect, they are done for the weekend, he can fill in the rest. Bando also binned it like 100m up the road.
