This one’s for the tinkerers and builders.

I’ve had this frame for about a decade. It was sold to me unpainted as a Bilenky MTB frame from around 2006 (very likely accurate), but I don’t have any official documentation on it. I had it powder-coated around 2011, and since then it’s been built up a dozen different ways.

It’s stuck around for so long because it’s simply a fun bike to ride and an even better platform to experiment with. That said, it’s time to pass it along and free up some wall space for something that’ll get ridden more.

Sizing-wise, I don't know how to list it, but the top tube is ~53cm and it fits very much like a medium MTB from that era.

If you’re still reading, you probably already have the parts bin to turn this into a seriously cool ride.
