Feeler: XS Titus Motolite Frame and TALAS Fork...and other bits...

So, I am thinking about moving to a slightly bigger, more AM-oriented bike, so I'm tentatively thinking of parting out my absolutely beloved XS Titus Motolite to help finance it.

Here's what you would get:

• 2007 XS Titus Motolite Frame with PUSH'd (2009) RP2 shock (Color is "mango"...sort of a burnt orange...really cool and unique color, if you ask me)
• 2006 Fox TALAS RL, PUSH'd in 2009. Both the fork and shock are performing better than brand new. The TALAS has adjustable travel, rebound and lockout.
• Chris King Headset, already installed (black). Best headset out there...period.
• Race Face Deus XC Stem
• Easton MonkeyLite SL Carbon Bars- super sweet bars!
• Thomsom Elite Seatpost 27.2- best seatpost money can buy!

The frame is in good shape. I've been shredding on it for a few years, so the paint has fallen victim to my learning curve (scratches and (minor) cable rub), but has no issues that affect performance whatsoever. For those who don't know, the Motolite has excellent standover and is a great bike for smaller women. It also has adjustable travel settings- you can choose to run the bike with four or five inches of travel. It climbs SUPER well and is a joy on the descent. If we didn't live so close to Galbraith/Whistler/The North Shore now, I'd ride it into the ground. PUSH custom tuned the suspension for me (130lbs) so if you're within 10-15 or lbs of my weight it will already be set-up perfectly for you. This was an expensive service, but totally worth it.

I'm thinking like $1,150 (+shipping) or so for everything above. If you're interested, let me know. Again, this is a feeler, I LOVE this bike and I built/spec'd it out myself with the best stuff I could find, so its hard to let it go, but serious interest in the combo will likely put me over the edge. I will also probably throw in some grips, a seatpost collar, lizard skin, and possibly even a front derailleur (Shimano LX), so you'd really just need a drivetrain, brakes, and wheels to get rolling. If you're really nice, I'll also throw in a set of slightly sticky (but still functional) XT shifters.

Here's a picture of the complete bike so you can get a feel for the color and such. http://lh4.ggpht.com/_mzb3ccEyNnQ/S0...0/DSC07257.JPG

Let me know if you're (seriously only, please) interested and we'll go from there.

Thanks for reading!

My husband just started riding the motolite 2 and loves it ,Im on a 15" trek fuel 9.8 want a little more travel for the longer rides so your frame and parts interest me a lot and we have lots of parts around here to build it up.Let me know what you decide.Thanks Kathy

Hey Kathy,

I think I'll probably be selling it. We can also work out a deal to include only the parts you actually need. Get in touch if you're still interested. Thanks!

If Kathy's not interested, please let me know. I found this ad while looking for an (XS) full suspension frame for my wife, as her (S) Santa Cruz Superlight is just a little too big. Thanks, Adam.

just the parts you listed is all I need, I just saw a xs motolite on ebay, a complete bike,what to buy???

email me @ cobrafx@hotmail.com thanks Kathy

bump. had some interest in my burnt orange baby, but i've been pretty waffly about actually letting it go and selling it. thinking more seriously about changing things up now...send me a note if you're interested in a ripping trail bike. we can talk about price...i am flexible on pretty much everything.

Hey there!

I think your bike is gorgeous and I'd be interested in her when you're ready to sell. I'm interviewing for a new job in 2 weeks.... if I get it, I'm getting myself a new mt bike as a reward! :-)

I'll contact you when I know about my job, but in the meantime, what a gorgeous bike! Thanks for posting it!

you're welcome, meggy. good luck with the job. if you get it, i'm just up the road in bellingham, so meeting to exchange would be pretty easy. :)

make me an offer on all or part of it and we'll go from there.
