FS: Trek Equinox/E11 F&F

I thought I would try selling this here as I had a build thread - I do believe i got it for a total bargain so I'm going to pass that on and am asking £120 posted, including headset and seatpost.

TriRig did a build based on this bikes predescesor recently and Rich Bussel won the National 10 on one in 2015, so it's got recent pedigree.

Full internal cable routing (into the top tube) and I've left the cables in place to help with running new ones. Front mech hanger is removable with, two allen bolts, if you want to run 1x.

The bad bits:

• There is some tyre rub on the chain stays - this frame will take a 23mm tyre on a narrow-ish rim but nothing wider. 21-22mm is optimal. I'll throw in an almost new 20mm Vittoria Open Corsa EVO-KS TT for free.
  
  

this makes it look worse than it actually is.

• There is some paint damage as shown in the pics. One patch on the seat tube, another on the down tube, cracks either side of the silver/grey panel on to the top of the down tube and again on the NDS chain stay. These frames were notorious for cracking paint. I'm confident that it is not structural. I used to work at a Trek dealer and saw similar issues on older bikes and all of these have existed since I got the frame and have not changed in that time.
  
  

The geometry of this frame is more like a road bike than a TT/Tri bike, so super stable and not twitchy in the slightest. In fact, I had it set up as a road bike for a lot of this summer as my good bike wasn't built up. If it wasn't for that fact that I'm trying to downsize the collection to two or three bikes that get regular use I would be seriously tempted to send it off and get a carbon repair place to re-profile the chain stays to give clearance for bigger tyres - that's how much I liked the way it rode.

I think it's a medium - 542mm effective TT, 102mm HT, 655mm ST.

It takes a 23.0mm seatpost and, with the one that comes with the frame, there is a minimum height from centre of BB to saddle rails of 69.5cm and a max of around 82cm.

I think that covers pretty much everything, any questions please shout!

Wish this was a little bigger

Dibs, I'll send you a PM.

Possible 2nd dibs if no good for cjr. Let me know if you would 👍

Will do!

A little more digging has revealed it's a 2006 Equinox 11 and this is the geometry chart:

3rd very unlikely dibs please!

Sold!

The pangs of regret are slowly building in us all who had but missed the chance.
Nice one
