BTR Pinner

This thing has been sat around gathering dust for far too long, so really it needs to go to a new home where it will actually get some use!

I believe it was the first 650B Pinner that BTR ever built, you can read a bit of the back story here

The Pinner is now discontinued, so you can't actually buy one new, but they did retail for £4200 base price for frame and shock.

I bought the frame and shock from Tam at BTR as an engagement present for my now husband. He had it re-powdercoated in a shade of battleship grey with a satin black swingarm to match the Rock Shox pikes that he fitted, oh and had the linkage anodized black.

The build is as follows...

BTR Pinner, Frame number 51, Size Large. Non-Boost. Cane Creek DB Air Shock.

Rockshox Pike RTC3 160mm Travel. Non Boost

Hope Headset

Renthal Bar and Stem

Drivetrain is comprised of Shimano Zee rear derailleur and shifter, SLX Cranks and BB with a 32t Hope narrow wide chainring, 11-32t Cassette.

Brakes are Shimano SLX with XT Icetech 203mm rotor up front and 180mm rear.

Wheels are Bitex hubs laced into 650B DT Swiss FR560 rims using Sapim Race Spokes and brass nipples, built by my husband at August Wheelworks. These are wrapped in Vittoria Goma tyres, running tubes currently, but can be set up tubeless.

Rest of the build is Rockshox Reverb dropper post, ODI Vans lock-on grips and it currently has a Fizik Arione CX Test saddle. The dropper post could do with a service, my other half was going to do this, but the parts are currently on back order.

There are a few little scratches and rubs in the finish, these are mostly from cable rub on the head tube and a little heel rub on the swingarm, the fork crown has a few scratches, these are only aesthetic and are deep enough to score the aluminium and the decal on the disc side fork leg is a bit knackered.

My husband had all intentions of visiting bike parks and doing trips to the Alps with this bike, but in the time that we have owned it there has been one trip to Chick Sands, one to Aston Hill and probably a dozen XC Laps at Thetford forest.

Anyway, for the full bike, we are asking £2250. If someone wants just the frame/fork or a part build, we are happy to work something out.

We are based in Norwich, but can potentially deliver depending upon location.

Oh, I knew I forgot something, there is also a pair of DMR Vault pedals in black that will come with the bike.

Hells bell, what a bike. Following with more lust than actual intention to buy unfortunately but could be interested in the frame and shock if it came to it.

Always a possibility. We’ve tried to sell this previously and it’s just not buggering off!

Faaaaark. This is good and proper.

Such an awesome bike! I wish I had the funds and the time to ride it. 😭

Us too Scott! Haha!

Nice engagement present 💪😎
