Trek 8900 1x9 beater/pub bike £180

Posted on
  • It shit. I don't want to get rid of this whippet of a bike. This steed of city justice, this magnificent red stallion that will make all bow to your godly commuter powers as you make neighing noises from the lights because the front end just flies up. Also a very capable endo machine. Accepts 26"x 2.3" if you want to get dirty.

    Basically I don't want to get rid of this, but I need to buy motorcycle gear and all that skintight gear costs moolah. I need moolah.

    Break down is as follows.

    Trek 8900 from around 1999. Hand made in the mighty US of A by someone probably named Bill McBadass. Who knows, it's likely.

    Size? I'll measure it tomorrow. I'm 5"10 and that's how I was riding it.
    1x9 Gruppo mix of SLX, XT.
    Stopping is courtesy of a Hydro Alivio setup with the rear modded from an ancient hayes 22mm (DIRECT MOUNT FOOLS) mounting system. Works a treat, stops on a dime.
    Crankset is original 'graphite' with a Zee 36t ring.
    Forks are RockShox Judy from way back. Serviced them beginning of the year, fresh oil and stanchions that make Kashima look like crapshima. Clean.
    Wheels are WTB rims on random hubs. Shod on a Shwalbe supreme rear and Speshy armadillo up front.
    Finishing kit is a mix of Specialized, FSA, Brompton and original kit.

    What else, yes I forgot. it's great and comes with silly branded stickers and a Buff one as headbadge that is rad to the power of max and will make you slowly look sideways at people and they'll be blinded by your awesomness.

    Enough Bullshit.

    £200

  • Enough Bullshit.

    I would like you to continue just a little bit and tell me where this is located and if you'd post it at all?

  • Apologies, this always happens. No postage unfortunately, and it's located in Fitzrovia.

  • It is indeed pretty badass, GLWS!

  • Interested pending size, let me know when you get a chance to measure it!

  • 56c-c TT and 41c-c ST. Not really sure how that sizes up, but I was using it with a 70mm stem and I'm 5"10

  • Much too small for me I think, looks cool, best of luck with the sale.

  • Much obliged, good luck with the hunt

  • Knard mode

    Comes with these tyres too by the way

    But not the pedals.

  • Weekend drop £190

  • Weekend Bump £180










  • Forgot I still had this. Anyone keen?

  • Do you rate those old atac's?

  • I have 4 sets. Even in the sludge of Epping, they work flawlessly.

  • Sunday bump £170

  • This is rad unfortunately too small and too far away for me GLWS

  • Fuck I'm tempted...

  • I have a friend who needs this. I'll get back to you later today

  • Bump for a great seller. Really top notch guy

  • PM'd
