PRICE
MOVED ELSEWHERE (comes with no pedals). Please let me know if I am off with the price. Although having in mind the original build price and amount of kilometres the bike has seen, I hope to see it go for around the asking price...

Wow, that's a really nice frame, and a great build. Would love to have this if I could. Oldish 853 MTBs make awesome everything-bikes.

EDIT out comment about brazing

are the mudguards included in the sale?

I am 183cm and would like to ride it with a more conventional stem/bar set up, do you think it could work?

Lovely frame!

I was unsure about it being fillet brazed or TIG welded too! But I messaged frame builder I know and he assured me that it's filled brazed. I am confused...

I believe it would. My friend is 184cm with long legs. I am 184cm too but I would have to lower the seat height by 2-3cm to ride it comfortably.

Yes, it comes with the mudguard.

Link is not working bro. Interested to see what's in it

Oh my mistake, perhaps looking on a phone wasn't the best idea. Guess they can look like that if unfiled.

*Edit.. undib'd

2nd dibs and 183cm

Anyone interested to see the bike, pelase get in touch via PM

@goosenoose I don't know to be honest. My guess would be that someone between 178-184 would fit the best on this bike. But it greatly depends on the cockpit set up imho

@remrak, thanks. Relinquish my dibs to @JuanSock then. Enjoy!

I'm in?

2nd dibs pending question! PM sent.

Fixed the link, definitely fillet brazed! Sweet

this is so nice!

All PMs replied. The bike is potentially sold. Many thanks LFGSS people!

First dibs pulled out after paying deposit upfront. So the bike is back for sale and I'll get in touch with those who showed the interest.

Damn this is a fantastic bike! glws

Dib'd - if still available.

I think I sold this back in the day - good to see it's still on the forum!
Might be interested in buying it back if recent dibs fall through. Cheers

It came with brown tyres I remember :) Was it you who sold it to me/my friend? The bike is still available if anyone is keen to view it please don't hesitate to get in touch.

Bump please - £490

please don't make me buy this
