Ouch, check out this tire rub issue.  Not sure how one does this without knowing you have a bit more rear tire resistance than you should!!!

If this is a large (still waiting to hear from the seller), I will try to pick it up for the main triangle and parts.  Also waiting to hear from Terry as to the feasibility of repair.

Ouch!
I've often worried about mud rub on the forks and rear swing-arm on my bikes and it's difficult to tell if it's just paint you're losing or metal (or Plastic!)
But I've never seen anything this bad!

I'm pretty certain it's a Small, look at the upper shock mount - very different to the standard drawing:

Nothing wrong with that and maybe even easier to fit retro shock to it.

I'd say it's a bargain, go for it!

If any are trying to view the link in my first post, it is gone; the seller pulled his ad.  I should have copied the picture of the swingarm.
