The Resurrection.
It's a Medium (suits around 5' 10"/180cm riders). Steel 4130 cro-mo main tubes.
I've hung onto this for years, not riding it but not wanting to get rid of it for sentimental reasons. I've ridden biketrials, raced against Cadel Evans in the 2003 SS Worlds, used it in Enduro mtb races, spent 4 months touring Europe, couriered in London, snapped it, left it at Witcomb for 18 months, got it back, rebuilt dodgy bodged ss conversion, left it under the bed.
It's gotta go. The fork is bent, there's loads of scratches and probably other damage, the headset is pretty fucked (I think I have a new spare I've never fitted). I'll throw in the rest of the Deore LX stuff that I removed from it - front der. rear der. spare tyre, spare tubes, cassette, shifters and stuff so you could build it up geared again.
It also comes with a not-much-use Gussett ss conversion kit and a Surly Singleator.
It's open to offers since it's such a mashup I know not what it should sell for.
Sad to see it go but it's better off being USED by someone else rather than being stored by me. Polio bike? Cheap geared/ss commuter? Gift for your enemy?
