Gary Fisher Triton. 53cm (geometry and original specification available on the link below). It's got a 54.6cm equivalent top tube so would equate to a medium in most brands sizing. It's a British Racing Green colour although it looks black in the pics. Bought new in ~August 2009 and only seen occasional use so in excellent condition.

Obviously I'm biased but this is a really fantastic riding bike. It's a steel frame and fork which gives a lively and engaging ride. Bontrager GXP (i.e. outboard BB) chainset is also a nice touch.
I've upgraded some key components, most noteably the wheels which are now a very high spec and more in keeping with the quality of the frame:
Wheels: 32H Mavic Open Pro Ceramic rims built on Halo fixed/free bolted hubs with DT Swiss Comp spokes. There is a 16T White Industries freewheel on one side and a 16T Dura Ace fixed sprocket on the other side.
Other upgrades:
Thomson Elite layback seat post (can swap for a black one if you prefer)
Specialized Toupe saddle
Easton EA90 stem
Ceramic rim specific brake blocks (these work brilliantly on the ceramic rims in both wet and dry conditions and the ceramic coating on the rims means that the rim will last a lot longer than standard aluminium braking surfaces)
Purple crank bolts to match the hubs 8-)
2 x Bontrager white bottle cages
The tyres are not the originals. It's got a Specialized All Condition Armadillo Elite (the lighter folding ones) tyre on the rear and a well used Schwalbe Ultermo on the front. The Armadillo hasn't seen much use but the Ultremo could do with replacing. I think I have the other Armadillo lying round somewhere so if I find it you can have that instead of the Ultremo.
I'd prefer to sell it as a whole bike for ease, but would be prepared to split if I got decent enough offers. It really is in tip top condition. A few paint shavings from my spanner around the dropouts and if you're fussy the bar tape could be replaced with new but otherwise a very clean bike.
Not really sure what it's worth. Won't sell for peanuts so open to sensible offers for the whole bike or to split. I'll include a Pedros frame mounted "Trixie" tool with the bike as I'll have no need for it. Pedals not included though.
I live near Maidstone if you want to view. I can probably deliver in person if you're SE based. Thanks for looking. Pics below:
