For Sale: 2018 Pinnacle Arkose L 8spd Alfine £SOLD

Posted on
  • Seeing that my accomodation situation is causing exasperation across the nation, or rather - I'm going to move flat, I think I'll need to only have one bike for a while.
    Much as I love this bike, I only have two at the moment and I'm afraid the Brooklyn is just too dear to my heart.

    So, ramble aside, I'm planning to sell my 2018 8spd Alfine Arkose, replete with mismatched rims owing to an earlier warranty job.
    The chain needs tightening via the eccentric bottom bracket, the bar tape could do with a reset, there's a little dent in the top tube and I've put stickers on it, but none of it really takes away from what is such a great bike. The Pompino of the '10s.

    If anyone’s interested, I'll give it a tidy and you can ride it away for £300
    With riding in mind: I'd rather not post, so collection in SE London is advised.

    UPDATE: Now with added images. Both are rubbish, but one's the whole bike and the other's the toptube dent. Cosmetic only, I'm sure; it was loaded up with bikepacking stuff and fell onto the corner of a glass bus shelter in rural France.

    Key Features:

    • Size L (56/57cm I reckon)
    • 6061-T6 heat treated aluminium Frame
    • Carbon Fork
    • Shimano Alfine 8 speed Drivetrain
    • TRP Hylex Hydraulic Disc Brakes
    • WTB Nano Comp 700 x 40c
    • Shimano SPD pedals

    Thanks for listening!
    Tom

    PS. obviously the stickers and saddle dangle thing can be happily removed.

  • Size?

  • Sorry, good point. I believe it's "Large". I'm pretty much exactly 6ft if that helps.

  • Yep, can confirm it's a Large. Guess it's about a 57cm then.

  • Updated for price and details

  • I'd rather not post

    Would need shipping to Sweden I'm afraid so if you're able to post after all then I'm definitely interested! Any pics of it set up for you as I'm slightly taller (187 cm/6'2")?

  • Oh, arse! haha, sorry.
    Yeah, maybe not then - would imagine that'd probably cost £100+ to ship, never mind potential leg work.
    Again, though it's not that short. With a longer stem it'd be grand for a few extra inches.
    Will try and get some real photos at some point, it's just finding a time when it's light in my flat!

  • All right. I've had a full bike and a frame shipped from UK to here and it was around £35 each time iirc, not too bad. But yeah, a bit of work with the packaging etc. I assume someone local will snap it up before you start considering it ;)

  • Oh, yeah that isn't bad, is it!
    Okay well I'll have you firmly planted on the 'interested' list @russmeyer

    UPDATED now with a few crap pics

  • Price drop: £350!

    Thanks,
    T

  • £340?
    I really do need this gone! :-(

  • All but sold to @Jarek_Aki !
    Thanks for the interest.

  • Alright, that's fallen through, so now priced very much in order to sell...
    £300 collection from Camberwell.
    PMs please.
    Thanks,
    Tom

  • Honestly, I know the weather's shit and everything but... Is the Arkose dead? This seems like a lot of bike for not a lot of money to me.

  • Am interested - have sent you a private message

  • Just bought and picked this up. Fr the record - @JLaxe is a lovely bloke. 5 *

  • @JLaxe is a lovely bloke.

    disputable, he works in advertising

  • Shit, have I just been Saachi and Saachi-ed?

  • Thank you @twdrake - I'd say the same of you. @amey on the other hand... nothing but trouble!

  • I regret selling this every time I ride my Fairlight
