It is time to part with an old friend. I commuted regularly on this bike for nearly two years but it has lain unused for over a year now.

It is based on a Ridgeback aluminium frame with Trek (I believe) forks and a Deore hydraulic disc brake. It was fitted with a new system Ex rear hub, chain and sprocket, and 28mm Nimbus Armadilo tyres 4 months before I stopped using it.

I have just taken it out for old times sake and the front brake is a bit soft and noisey. It probably just wants a clean but I will include a new set of pads. The rotor is showing signs of its age o you might want to replace it for a more sensibly sized one.

It does have a few scars, most notably the top of the brake reservoir after I managed to flip it over - on the way to the pub, believe it or not.

Available for collection from Crystal Palace.

How does £220 sound?

How did I manage to forget that. It is a 56cm frame. Seat tube is 51cmC2C, 56cm C2T, top tube is 56cm C2C. I'm just under six foot. Pictures show it set up for me.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
