Hello!

For sale is my Salsa El Mariachi steel framed hardtail size 17 inch.

• Rockshox Reba air fork
  
• Sram X9 rear shifting and RH shifter

• Maxxis Ardent tan wall 2.25inch

It's a really nice setup that doesn't see much action so decided to rehome.

Asking £550.

Stored in West London but could arrange to meet in Central also.

Lot of bike for £550 assuming it all works.

Perfect for @amey

Plant bed looks terrible, price drop to £450?

Why don't you post some of your "little japanese bushes" and show us how its done then?!

One of these convinced me I wanted a 29er.....lovely bike!

This one, to be precise!

tis actually good .. I have decided not to #buy anything MTB until I do at least 5 sessions on a rental bike .. maybe I am stupid

Isn't that going to cost about the same as this bike?

@amey you should buy this biek - just put some cash aside for proper brakes. No, not Clampers. Well, OK, maybe Clampers.

(usual caveats about it working properly first, might help if the OP mentioned when the forks were last serviced and who did them etc).

A note on the forks. I haven't had them serviced since owning them. The action is smooth, rebound adjustment responds correctly and they hold preload pressure well.

Its a fair point to raise but I don't think this rig has seen enough riding to warrant a fork service.

The service interval is like 50 hours or something. You could probably triple that with Rebas and get away with it, if you weren't too heavy on them. They would almost certainly need the lowers and the air spring done at that point.

Nice thing about rebas is that they are easy to do and you can get them done locally reasonably cheaply.

I have those reba on my spearfish.....I've not serviced them either, and I don't think they need it......my opinion might be shit though.

Whoever buys it, sell me the tyres for special never to be repeated fire brigade discount price?

In the event this gets split I'd take the frame.

Price drop to £500 - otherwise needs to go eBay next week.
