• Selling my Elephant NFE as a full build.
    Astonishingly good gravel bike, tourer, monstercross, commuter, you name it.
    Originally belonged to edscoble, rebuilt by me with the best components I could think of for the job.
    Dynamo system, hydro-actuated brakes, faultless XTR-Dura Ace shifting, all there.
    Extremely fun ride unloaded and low-trail geometry suits front loading perfectly for tours.
    Reason for sale: ongoing COVID-induced loss of work.

    Price is £950 for everything you see in the pictures, minus saddle, pedals, cages, and light.
    Also including a set of stainless mudguards custom adapted for the bike (not photographed).
    Prefer pickup in N London, could post if it comes to it. Payment via Paypal G+S.

    If I wouldn't have more bikes than space and it was a tad taller I'd be all over it.
