Identical I'd say!

even down to the stickers on the swing-arm!

Looking at the light reflection on that down-tube, maybe it's round? But bigger diameter than an 857?
But then again, maybe it's square..........

But maybe it's a Way-Big? big headtube and what looks like a "long" Noleen shock on the front.
Nora's looks like a Med/Large??

dont know if its me but the top tube seems t dip down moe than the x56 bikes.The dimension seems to be smaller from BB to seat mast to top tube intersection,ie short "seat tube...maybe adds to stiffness,may be offset bu relatively long flexy swingarm loading up the poor old noleen......?

Could be an optical illusion, but look at her roadie style stem. Makes the whole front end look low.

I definitely think it's a 4000/5000 frame with the square downtube from the way the light hits it. The one she's riding looks to be a large or medium, but the one in the other pic (no rider) looks to be a Way Big because of the space between the top and downtubes where they meet the headtube.

I'd love to find a set of carbon legs for my Way Big 4000...I found a decent looking  Way Big 5000 posted on Craigslist for$200 a few days ago and eventhough I responded quickly the bike was already gone. :-/ I doubt I'll ever find Way Big carbon legs for this thing (of the Noleen ELT variety).

I found this pic on an earlier thread about 'whats the best proflex/K2'. I think it might belong to Carbon Angus? It looks to me to be an evo frame (round tube) with a 857 swing arm fitted on.
Noras frame looks to me exactly like my 4000. If I put my 857 next to my 4000 and squint a bit, its nearly there

I'll find that email - sorry forgot about it until I just logged on.  it's at home, will look later.
