This started life as a 2014 Bombtrack Arise SS - here is a link to the 2014 catalogue for ref: https://issuu.com/wemakethings/docs/bombtrack_completebikes_2014_inhalt/21?ff
I’ve used it for commuting duties over the last three years plus weekend rides around the Mendips and Wales. Unfortunately, I now live in a flat and owning 4 bikes is not going down well with the lady.
It rides really well and I’ll be sad to see it go. I have changed most of the stock build out except the frame and wheels.
Highlights include:
All City Nature Boy fork (kept meaning to spray black but never got round to it);
TRP CX9 brakes and TRP levers;
Sram Omnium cranks (can include a couple of chainrings 48 and 46);
Specialized Roubaix tyres; and
The stock cassette seems really decently made.
It’s the perfect winter commuter - It feels really comfortable and whippy with both flat bars and drops and handles well off road. Could be geared down for tracklocross?
Collection from Bristol preferred but could post within the UK for cost.
I’m looking for £450 with the omniums or £350 with the stock cranks reinstalled. I think this seems fair but I’m sure people will let me know if I’m way off.
Note: I would like to keep the saddle and post unless it’s a dealbreaker and same with the atacs.
I’ll try and get some better pictures when it’s not pissing it down.
