Giant granite, dad bike, basket life, retro MTB cruiser, winter commuter. Manchester based

Anyone interested in my commuter before I list it elsewhere?

Looking for £250, open to offers as need it gone quick

19” Giant granite MTB frame, ultimate year round commuter/ rad dad bike.

Massive schwalbe big apple tyres for tackling those Manchester potholes.
Planet X Bullmoose bars with tie dye grips so you can look as rad as your Dad (or you) did in the 70s.
Brass bell to let the haters know you’re coming.
Full Giles Berthoud guards.
Glow in the dark BMX pedals for literally no reason whatsoever.
Shimano XT(I think) wheels
1X with GX rear derailleur wide/ range rear cassette 11-36 (if I remember rightly)

Cons: you won’t be winning any sprints on it unless you’re Robert Förstemann (it’s heavy, although doesn’t feel it tbh when you’re plodding along on it).

I’m really going to miss this bike, but I don’t commute by bicycle anymore and need the money for motorbike repairs.

Comes with the custom made basket bag from this here forum.

Could I ask what front rack this man - I need to whack my wald on a rack I reckon

It’s from SJS if I remember rightly

Replied :)

Hey man, any chance you’d consider shipping? I’m based in London.

I have the same one on an old Marin and it's infinitely better than the standard Wald stays.

Unfortunately it’s gonna be a bit difficult for me to package it as I’ve no real time to source a box and pack it before chrimbo :/

Checked the advert from when I bought the frame it’s apparently 19”, for reference I’m about 6ft and it’s on the smaller end of the scale for me.

Currently on hold till Saturday.

If it's any help I can box it up and ship (using Hermes) for you/ non Manchester based purchaser, obviously at the buyers cost.
Gimme a shout if that'll help.

Now sold to @JamesDSP

Already regretting it as he walked away with it :’)

Haha @hp93, making me feel guilty ;). Promise it’s going to a home where it will be appreciated!

Thanks for the smooth handover and good luck with the motorbikes.

Cheers,

James

Haha, Nah glad it’s stayed in the forum tbh! Dibs on the bars if you ever get rid :)
