    Why do you need the measurement? One is about as long as it is wide and one is twice as long as it is wide ?

    Just plain curiosity. Clearly I pointed out the difference so I’m well aware there is A difference. Just wonder how much. Don’t need to know. Want to know.

    My guess would be it’s a wr due to the subframe and forks but then again I’ve pieced a few frankenhuskys together. I’m sure most here have....Either way looks like a great bike and I’m sure you’ll have a blast with it!

    sometimes the mismatch machines are the best ones.

    No quick change front axle says XC/CR

    No bar for rear brake stay says XC or WR

    Rear loop says WR

    My best guess is XC with WR loop added
