Imperial frame?

**WrenchGuy** · 07-19-2012, 07:07 PM

Hey sup guys!

Its really been a Wheres Waldo for an Evil Imperial frame. I was sure it would be. All the searches led back a couple years.

Is it possible someone has one out there still? I have an 04/05 Black Diamond Triple and I just like the techy ride of the hardtail. The imperial or something easier to get would really make use of the rest of my parts off the BDT.

I just need something to take the Shiver fork....I have it and its still in excellent condition and the Imperial really seems to fit the bill.

Im in Michigan so Im not real extreme but the hardtail is fun to me.

Id appreciate any help you guys have.

I'm still a little sad that I parted with mine. What a beautiful frame that was.

I had one for a couple years in college, never should have sold it. I rode Snowshoe and Diablo on it before I knew what a proper DH bike was...

Such a stupid, heavy build, but oh so fun on the DHs!

If I had a bunch of money and some more storage space, I'd build one up just for a fun bike to do little errands on. I mean, I completely recognize that the Sovereign I have is much more practical - but there's something about those Imperial frames.

Too cool. I thought we'd be beating a dead horse or something. Im glad you guys like/liked the rig. I wont do much to one but It seems to be the best option of getting into a HT again with parts I already have.
