For Sale: Commencal Absolut 26" wheel dirt/street bike

I've decided that, as this never gets used, I should just sell it.

I've had it a few years, and it has mainly been used for polo/nipping to the shops (it's my only bike with flat pedals); I've never been good enough to give it a thrashing. The back wheel needs a bit of truing (polo) and there are a few chips here and there (again, polo) but it's otherwise in very good condition.

Given that these were £600 when I got it, I'm looking for £275. I'm in Putney and I'm happy to meet locally if people want to test ride it, otherwise I can bring it into central London for a sale. I'm not going to post it (due to weight/bulk).

If anyone has questions or wants more photos, please ask.

Hey man, just wondering if you have any spec details

sorry man, can't take the bike. Someone must want this, it's a bloomin bargain

I need to move to london. i would snap this up, anyway have a bump.

Price drop: £250 (offers)

Exams are finished so I can start thinking properly about selling stuff. I know I should put this on Ebay, but knowing my luck the winning bidder wouldn't understand that collection only means collection only and that I am not going to drag a 30lb+ bike box to the post office.

I think £250 is a decent price for what it is (I think that it was my bike Dicki had a go on?), given that it's not been thrashed, but I would say that - I'm the seller. If anyone wants a test ride, let me know, otherwise it'll be going on Ebay when I can be bothered.

What is the fram size?

*Frame

It's a size "long", so an effective top tube of a bit under 22.5". The stem is something like a 50mm, so it's pretty compact. There are geometry tables on the Commencal website if you want more details.

Commencal recommends riders of 5'10"+, but it depends on your body shape and what you are planning to use it for. If you were planning on using it for polo, geometrically it's similar to something like a small 15" frame with a heavily slopping top tube, so it would probably be best for someone about 5'8"?

Having had a look on Ebay, and at the risk of talking myself out of money (as Jeez and memdazi haven't said nought yet), I think that the £230-ish region might be more realistic.

Fuck knows how a Charge Plug only loses 10% of its value after two years, but decent jump bikes hold up about as well as Northern Rock shares...

is there no way you would post this?

I've checked the shipping tariffs and it's not actually as bad as I thought it would be, if it's sent two day DPD. The problem is being around to have it collected - I've got an office job and the Saturday surcharge is £18...

Let me have a think about this.

before i hassle you anymore on postage i should probably ask what size it is! Sorry.
also is the rear hub the same as the new ones e.g. can i whack a block and derralier on there or is it a threaded freewheel jobby. and finally what is the front brake (mech or Hydraulic and what make/model)

Thanks

It's a size long, the rear hub is a screw on freewheel (although the dropouts have a derailleur hanger) and the front brake is cable and, from memory, a Hayes.

hi do you still have the bike bike if so i could be very intrested and do you have any pics thanks
also posted on your single track thread.

This is still kicking around if anyone's interested.

£200.
