• My well used Trek Crockett 52cm 2017,
    Originally a mechanical brake, 11 speed , 50t by 11-36 CX bike that I used for weaving through London traffic - this has been a super lightweight and utilitarian platform that went from commutes to being dragged around the world on different adventures on and off-road

    To be honest sad to see part of my cycling history go, especially as it hit the sweet spot of functionality but affordable enough to lock up around town or pack into a bus for said adventures - but need to fund other trips whilst work is stuck pending

    Its final incarnation is now with:

    • Force HRD shifters and brakes, with 12sp Ratio upgrade, Garbaruk cage and pulley wheels
    • 44t chainring and 10-50t Eagle cassette - these are quite aged and shifting for the most part is precise, however to be improved with the below
    • Fresh 40t Chainring and NIB 10-52t Garbaruk cassette ready to swap in that'll be priced into the sale and forms a large part of the price, plus new Eagle chain just fitted
    • Just serviced with a new headset bearing, wheelset bearings checked and new brake pads prior to sale
    • Tons of spares included - NIB Wheelset bearings, 50t and 40t front chainrings, Trek mudguard mounts, mech hangers, spokes, axle/qr/freehub converters for running the Novatec/Hydra wheelset on future bikes, Mack Workshop half frame bag to be thrown in (zipper split and he no longer operates, could be repaired, I currently run it with straps)

    Additional specs
    165mm Force Crankset
    Hope PF41 Bottom Bracket
    Thomson Masterpiece layback post
    Deda ZeroNero 100mm Carbon stem
    Novatec-Hydra 700c wheelset - Tubeless taped (tubes in at present) with Gravelkings/rotors included
    Beater saddle, tape, pedals and 40cm Bontrager bars
    Security skewers supplied

    Main flaws - mostly aesthetic
    Paint chips and marks throughout frameset, shifters, mech and cranks
    Filed and smoothed the L brake hood after an abrasion
    Dremel marks to the front axle after a previously seized axle that has now been replaced
    Rear mudguard stay use to spin, now bonded with Aruldite
    On the old cassette, shifting slightly hesitant on the top 2 gears - to be resolved with fresh Garbaruk stuff
    Ratty bar tape, to be swapped to your preference

    Pics are in bikepacking mode - sold without most bags and TT bars, some temporary plastic pedals will be included

    (£1200) now £1000 will hopefully count for 'used' prices for all the parts, despite the new bits, with all of the labour that's gone into this comped in, though give a shout if I'm off

    Welcome to have a look around London until the end of November, and could drop off to you, otherwise beyond that pickup from SE26

  • Oooof Nice

  • Thanks!
    Mostly self indulgent bike photos are all I can find (this could be you) - will try to get paint closeups in a few days - not that it matters much as it'll look like the photos here and the purple will be the envy of your mates

  • I mean those photos are doing a great job of selling it!

    Probably not in a position to buy right now, but out of interest how tall are you?

  • 5'6/7 or so - this could probably fit 5' 3 to 5'8 as its already on a long stem

  • Thanks!

  • The less glamorous pics
    Although I realised I didn't list/factor into the price more specs I added:
    Force 165mm Cranks
    Hexlox security axle/skewers
    New quick links for more spares
    Wheel is dished slightly toward the NDS to increase clearance for 43mm rear tire - no perceivable effects on handling
    On that, I'll throw in my other Hope Pro 4 XDR rear wheel and extra tire for £150

    Currently weighs 9.2kg but with Quadlock mounts, tubes, plastic pedals and random saddle - so definitely a 8.x kg build!

  • Price drop to £1100
    or £1200 but including the hope wheel
    If this doesn't sell by the new year I'll keep this

  • Back in London - final bump before keeping - £50 off

  • Bump - work fell through a second time so a final (final) drop to £1000
    Has been some interest so hopefully I've not been off the mark the whole time

  • Bump, new deadline to sell before keeping is April as I ended up stuck in London
    Might even throw in a Revelate Spinelock as per pics if it goes for full price..

  • Hey! Would you be interested to send it to Stockholm (Sweden)?
