I do not operate a dibs policy. I operate a first to give me the money gets the item policy. Pickup from my flat in N1 or LMNH
1) A Muddy Fox mountain bike. I think it's from around 2005. I bought it from a cash converters and made it work again.
It has been very simply single speeded. The rear derailleur has been chopped and tensions the chain and the chain has been shortened to sit just on one sprocket.
It has brand new seatpost, seat, brake levers, grips and tyres.
The wheels spin smoothish. I repacked the bearings in the rear one. I've given them a bit of a true but are still slightly off. The brakes work fine but are not perfect.
I will include a set of Specialized 2.2 inch tyres that came with it. I bought this bike in anticipation of snow but that never happened and have kept it since by telling myself I will start playing polo on it, but I just don't have time.
It has mounts for disk brakes.
Size wise, MTB's are very flexible. The seat height is set up for me, I'm 6'' tall.
£75
