Cheers! ummm thats a hard one, i got the frame for an absolute steal, the benifiets of working in a shop and knowing people within the industry...I got the frame for about $300 brand new in the box...frikin steal!!! and i used some parts off a stp and what ever else i had haha. worked out to cost me next to nothing considering these frames used to wholesale somthing like $1300, I would guess it owes me no more than $2000, but if built up going by retail prices oh god it would have to be around the $4000-$4500 price tag in its time.

Yeh cheers, it wasnt a small gap thats for sure, thats the great thing about the straight 6 is its so comfortable and stable in the air you can do soo much with it, it was abit sketchy barspinning the gap tho ahaha..

Yep I hear you on that, the yellow was waaayyyy to busy, the black is much better....anything in black is much better though haha.
