For Sale – A lower, slacker, sexier 7Point…aka a 2005.5 Ellsworth Dare + extras
Flame on!
I bought this 2005.5 Ellsworth Dare from a well known bike shop owner about 18-months ago. The original setup had 8-inches of travel, but I wanted something slightly lower and slacker. We put a shorter eye-to-eye shock (from 8.75x2.75 to 8.5x2.5). Essentially the final geometry with a Totem (565 a-c) was:
HA: 66-deg
Seat Angle: 73-deg
BB: 13.9-inch
Rear travel approx 7.25-inch
Effective TT – 22.5-inches
Standover – TONS of it! (probably 28 or 29-inches)
I had it built up with at 37-lbs with the Totem, UST tires, Hone cranks, Hone derailleur, and Hadley’s on 5.1d rims.
I’m selling it! It’s a beautiful bike that got a true horst link 4-bar suspension (think Rogue w/ slightly shorter top tube). It’s got a Saint specific rear end (read no derailleur hanger). Here’s the package:
Frame: Small 2005.5 Dare w/ Saint specific rear end
Derailleur: Hone rear derailleur (included)
Shifter: Saint rear shifter (has seen plenty of action and may need to be replaced sooner or later).
Cranks: Saints (175mm)
Chain Guide: Race Face Diabolus
Asking price: $1,100 OBO
The frame itself is in mint condition! It came from the factory with a small blem in the downtube (it won’t show up in pics, but I figured I should be as up front as possible). The shifter / rear derailleur combo are still serviceable, but aren’t in, “Like New” condition.
This is a great core package to get someone going on a killer pedalable, freeride bike.
Here are some pics and call me at 714-222-5149 if you’ve got questions.
