Why are you no longer riding on the road? I have made a similar decision.
Am interested to see what your next mtb will be.

Why are you no longer riding on the road?
2 reasons. Firstly safety. I am getting too old and the roads seem crazier and crazier. I gave up the motorbike after 25 years a while back for much the same reason. Secondly, since moving house I have some amazing trails straight from the door and my riding has been 90% off road on a cross bike. Our old house was at the foot of Newlands corner with some amazing road riding from the door.

EDIT: Apologies, bars are too narrow.

PRICE REDUCED For Sale - Seven Evergreen SL 57/58cm
Posted by
Having sold my Seven mountain bike earlier this year, another sad day has come. This is pretty much a lifelong bike. With a heavy heart, I have decided that I am not going to ride the road any more so I am putting the proceeds into a new mountain bike.
Seven Evergreen SL with XX asymmetric dropouts. These are the lighter version of Seven’s dropouts and a chargeable upgrade.
An absolutely stunning frame in like new condition. Being brushed titanium, it is likely to stay that way with a quick rub down.
A versatile bike that can be set up as a road bike, winter trainer or for gravel. A real quiver killer/N=1 bike.
I have always used it as a mullet 1x setup, but there is routing for a front derailleur. I have been running the bike with 1 x AXS, but it has all of the necessary ports for a wired set up and a front derailleur.
I had the bike built to take some design notes from my Pegoretti - an almost level (3deg slope), dropped top tube with a slightly extended head tube.
I am 6ft 1inch with broadly average proportions. The bike is a 57/58cm equivalent.
The steerer is trimmed for 25mm of spacers underneath the stem.
I am the original owner and will honour any warranty issues should they arise. I have owned more than a dozen Sevens and have never needed to use the warranty.
Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves in terms of the quality and condition of this bike. The frame alone will currently set you back over £5,000.
From the original build sheet:
Seat Tube (ctr ctr) 55.0cm
Effective Top Tube 57.8cm
Head Tube Length 17.8cm (including 1cm head tube extension)
Standover 82.8cm
Head Tube Angle 73.0deg
Seat Tube Angle 73.0deg
Bottom Bracket 68mm BSA
Headtube 44mm
Max tyre width 35mm
Seatpost 27.2mm
Rear 142 x 12 thru axle. Front 100 x 12 thru axle.
Electronic/AXS gearing routing (no mechanical guides)
Full mudguard eyelets.
Stability 5/10 (neutral handling)
Drive Train Rigidity 7/10 (towards stiff)
Vertical compliance 3/10 (towards comfort)
Weight to Performance 7/10 (towards performance)
The frame was fitted with Enve finishing kit which has now sold separately. Price includes the Chris King headset and a Fairlight Cempa fork. All are in equally like new condition.
I am selling the frameset as a few options:
Frame (inc thru axles), Fork, Headset NOW SELLING FOR £2,500 (new £5,699)
This is less than half price so (relatively speaking!) a really good price for a dream build in immaculate condition.
Collected from Godalming, or I can travel to meet up.
PM me for more pictures.
