FS: For Sale: Ventana X5 frame

[Marshall Willanholly]

2008 Ventana X-5 frame. 140mm travel. Fox RP23 shock. Frame weight - 6.5 lbs

The frame is size small with semi-custom geometry. It is an X-5 frame built in the El Ciclon jig, so it is the 2008 El Ciclon geometry but with two changes. The top tube is 21.8 inches, and the head tube angle is 68° with a 140mm fork.

The frame is in almost new condition. There are absolutely no cracks or dents. There is a area of cable rub on the non-drive side seatstay, and there is a very small scratch in the top tube.

Price: SOLD







Frame as it was built up (for reference, only selling the frame):

Hi Eric

I am interested in the frame. What's the seat tube length, bb height, and stand over?

Very hot frame!

BTW what's replacing it?

I don't know what she's replacing it with. She's really busy with school and not riding much lately.

4) Custom 68* HA is a huge plus (Easy to climb... Increased stability when descending)
5) Sherwood Gibson (owner of Ventana) is WaAaAaAy cool
6) $875 is way too low if you ask me

Marshall- Would you happen to know the rider height recommendations for this frame? (5'0"-5'7")?

Hard to say on the height recommendation. I would guess around 5'6" or 5'7" would be at the upper end and around 5'1" at the lowest, depending on inseam/standover.

Good point! Forgot about that.
