I'd pretty much got the Airborne Goblin to the point where I wanted it, it suited my riding style and the fit was dialed in. As I'm sure is the case for many of the other cyclists, one of my favorite hobbies is to scour the local classifieds on a regular basis seeing what can be had for a cut down price.
I logged in as usual on Saturday morning and saw this Niner EMD frame in moon dust silver and in my size (large). I literally couldn't resist, this is not the latest EMD frame however I believe its dated around 2011, the frame was as new, boxed and never built up. The seller had bought it as a project but not got round to completing it. Having always looked at those guys riding a Niner with a little envy, I had to jump at the chance to own the frame when is cost was approximately 1/3rd of the price when new. The great thing about the frame in comparison to the Airborne Goblin is that the only thing which is different and I'll have to source is the headset, everything else will be a straight swap.
I'll post back here as I make progress with the swap, thanks for reading!
