Northwest Marketplace

Anyone up north intrested in this, il be too and from Manchester over the next month and up to Christmas so can happily bring up and arrange collection/delivery:

If at first you don't succeed.....

I need to focus on getting some winter road miles in without crying about the weather and wrecking my best bike, so unfortunately something has to give financially and spatially to accommodate a new winter road bike.

And lucky for you it means you can get your hands on this!

Il throw in 2 brand new Specislized 29er innertubes, tubeless valves, a brand new bottle of stans notubes fluid and a brand new specialized 25g gas canister/applicator/tyre lever toolkit, 3 spare pairs of bars, 3 extra chainrings and a Maxxis Aspen tyre.

That's about £2000 worth of gear - even if you take about £500 off the RRP's to account for currently discounted/sale prices you're still taking about £1500 of bike, which is a rough OTP price for much lesser spec'd options.

There are a handful of tiny chips to the frame, a few bits of laquer peel / chips on the carbon fork, a bit of plastic missing off the Zee shifter and some small marks to the rims; very minor aesthetic things which go hand in hand with MTB.

The cassette, chain, chainring, seatpost, stem, bars, grips, rotors, cables and bottom bracket have about 100km use and as such all perform as new.

I’ve ridden this bike on the road, on trails and in some seriously deep mud and it performs excellently all round. It’s low 10kg weight makes it great for climbing and very easy to throw around trails and hop over high obstacles, let the tyres down to 15 – 25 psi and it’ll float through the deepest bog with ease, at 35psi it’ll handle excellently on slippy trails and provide a good few cm of travel through the tyres to soak up all but the most brutal lumps/roots etc, at 40+ psi it fly’s on dry ground and light XC trails.
Whenever and however its ridden its handling, speed and liveliness always puts a smile on your face!

Most of the components need no introduction, and many reviews can be found on the Frame, Forks, Wheels, all of which are highly complimentary.

Any questions, discussion about collection, costs, condition etc please pop me a PM and il reply promptly!

Im after £650 ONO for the full bike and everything listed above

Im based in Central London, N7, and ideally cash on collection would be my preferred option

I can potentially deliver within a sensible radius - please send me a message to discuss

I'd consider sensible road bike related swaps.
