2015 Niner Jet 9	2008 Rocky Mountain Element 70	eBay Special
Description	In June 2016 I found this frame a price I could not pass up. It provided much more advanced suspension from the Rocky Mountain, and the 29er wheels should roll better.	After riding hard tails for many years, Dana had reached a point where having full suspension would help her development as a rider. Thus in May 2012, I got a screaming deal on this frame on eBay as new old stock. Built it up with the parts from her old bike.	Dana has become enamoured with the comfort provided by carbon frames. Since these chinese carbon frames on eBay were getting good reviews, and they were cheap, we decided to build her a new mountain bike in 2010 based on one. The purchase process was simple, and the frame arrived quickly and in perfect shape. She loves how it looks and rides.
