How much? Got any pics?

Bare in mind the whole bike only cost a bit more than the previously mentioned fork. :)

£35? Would need posting though I guess

Anyone want to buy a stripped Boardman pro FS? Stripped to sell 2years ago and have to face I'll never get round to listing all the bits

Large 120mm FS frame rockshox monarch
120mm Rebas
3x9 sram
Avid carbon brakes
New merlin XT hubs with mavic rims front hub has an issue and needs replacing
Ritchey finishing kit
Etc

How much? What is the large in cm or inches roughly? Pics?

I'll probably keep looking for normal QR forks but will keep you in mind if there's a 20mm bargain.

It's a large which is 20"
Not a huge amount £300 say

20"

Think that might be too big (unless duallies are designed to sag a couple of inches?). Pretty sure my Aussie hardtail was an 18" or 18.5". Reckon I could just run a lower saddle height?

Not sure if this is the 650 geo but it says 630 TT. How does that equate to road?

Virtual TT on my road bike is 568mm so this sounds quite long.

I'd be better off buying a new mtb if I wanted to get off road properly.

Just get something fancy now, for when you take up 24hr racing :-)

Sorry.

Sorry.

eh?

What you might've meant was "solo 24hr racing". ;)

Indeed I did. I would expect no less.

Impressed that you've been racing and blogging since you were only 4 years old!

Sorry thought it was a reference to the thread highjack

Well, it took the first four years of my life to build myself a computer and connect to the internet from rural Oz.

Ha, not at all. Thought I'd just point you towards another potential buyer :-)

solo 24hr racing

Actually, isn't that what you do? @AdsH

'Only' 12hr for me and probably never again either! Still mentally recovering from August.

They are indeed Wildgrippers, but I got them from a friend who had them sitting in his basement and the level of dry rot… let's just say I'm down about 1/3 of the knobs on the rear tire after the first outing.

6hr is much more civilised

What's your inside leg? I ride 56/57cm Road bikes and that Boardman would be a great fit for me. Total bargain

That said I'd want to run a shorter stem than would have been specced, so longer=better

12hr is suffering, 1hr is agony, 6hr is agony and suffering.

I ride ~56-57c road frames.
This is one: http://www.kinesisbikes.co.uk/Catalogue/Models/Racelight/4S-DISC
Think it's running a 100 or 110mm stem.

I'm currently on an 18" Inbred running a 'what I would consider longish for mtb' 110mm stem.

I can't find the proper geo for that frame but do you reckon it might actually suit?

The only forum post I've found pegs the dimensions for the large as 50.8 seat tube and 61.5 top tube, which is pretty much the same as my Trans Am, pictured there with about 78cm BB to saddle. So for me standover would be fine and I'd be very happy with a 70-90mm stem I'd have thought
