Long time lurker but lazy arse poster to my shame, too busy faffing with cargo bikes over the years... I put this together recently to tidy up the parts I had but don't really have the space to keep it. Thought somebody on here might appreciate it, or hate it in equal measure :)
It's got the following:
Some really nice Mavic D521's, rear has a Sunn Sealed bearing hub which is especially sweet.
Onza Tuf Guy trials forks
Big Schwalbe Smart Sams- the largest I could (just about) squeeze into the frame
Kore Stem, Club Roost bars
Some Truvativ cranks that I dremelled a bit to squeeze in a larger middle ring
Magura front brake - more than enough to stop it
Slightly mangy but comfy Specialized saddle
Chinese Ebay special flat pedals
Very minor issue is getting the rear wheel out. It's a slight PITA as it's a 130mm hub it seems. I couldn't add a longer axle and redish as the one fitted is tapered to fit the sealed bearings. It just needs a bit of a squeeze to tighten the rear wheel after removing, that's all.
It sort of rides like a 26" BMX (44:16 gearing), it's been my go to bike the last couple of weeks. It's a laugh to thrash about on but I just don't have storage for another ride.
It owes me £200 all in, so that's what I'll ask for. Hit me with any questions...
