Mountain Bike Frame

Kinesis FF29 MTB Alloy Hardtail Frame L3 Black Bronze. This is a used Kinesis FF29 frame, that was built up as a show bike and has also been used for marketing purposes. As such it has not covered many miles before being dismantled back to a bare frame. Has a few cosmetic dings, chips, and scuffs, but is generally in good used condition. Includes sliding dropouts (inc gear hanger), rear thru axle and cable guides. Also has a used Praxis M30 Bottom Bracket fitted (for 30mm drive side/28mm non-driveside axle), and a Lizard Skins black chainstay protector. Here’s what Kinesis has to say. Your new favourite hardtail. In 2012 we launched the FF29, and it went on to win multiple magazine reviews and awards. For 2023 the FF29 is re-born – longer, lower, meaner – but still flippin’ fast. Geometry has been bought bang up to date, the custom frame build utilises all-new tubing technology and it comes brimming with features designed for UK trails. Working with Kinesis Taiwan for nearly 30 years gives us unique access to the best know-how in the aluminium frame industry. We can develop a mountain bike frame tuned to the needs that we want as riders, giving the ride quality we enjoy while combining stiffness and durability at the lowest possible weight. We have also designed the FF29 with adjustable dropouts so that riders can optimise the rear stay length for their style of riding. This also gives the opportunity to set the frame up as a single speed. The FF29 is long, low, and stable with a steep seat tube and long reach numbers – the frame is actually sized by reach and is designed for use with a dropper post. It’s slack but this bike is no slacker – with a head angle of 65.5º, you get a nimble, agile feel at the bars for singletrack hacking. We wanted an all-day hard-charging fully capable 29 hardtail bike based around a 140mm fork, the sort of bike most of us ride here on the South Downs. Great for climbing and seriously fast for the descents – just how a hardtail should be. How will you build yours? The FF29 uses Kinesis’s advanced SPF – Super Plastic Forming. Most manufacturers use Hydroformed tubes, but with SPF we can create lighter tubes and more intricate shapes that will build into a lighter and stiffer frameset. The FF29 is long, low, and stable with a steep seat tube & long reach numbers. Horizontally adjustable dropouts allow you to fine tune the FF29′s chainstay length for how you ride, with the added benefit of single speed capability. Size by Reach – Choose a size based on your riding style and fit preference rather than your height. Externally routed cables makes servicing easy and allows the use of full length outer cable to ensure your FF29 will run through a UK Winter.
