I've had this bike in a number of setups; race a full cyclocross season on it, proto-mountain bike, commuter, low trail tourer, etc, and I'll be sad to see it go but it's time to get a proper mountain bike and unfortunetly I have no room or money for extra bikes. It's certainly no lightweight but is solid and dependable.
Frame and drivetrain has had a fair amount of usage but is in good condition. Few chips and scratches to the frame but no dents. Fork and wheelset are a few rides only and in very good condition. Brake blocks have been recently replaced.
Cross Check frame (57cm top tube) with Soma Low Trail fork
Chris King Headset
XT Dynamo hub/Mavic A319 wheelset (currently with monster 1.8" Land Cruisers, available with lighter tyres if wanted)
Mostly Deore drivetrain (triple crankset, Sora short cage rear mech, 8 speed cassette and bar end shifters)
Salsa Bell Lap bars
Avid Single Digit 5 V-brakes with noodle adjusters.
V-specific cable pull Tektro levers
Thomson stem and seatpost (cut down to 29cm, should give plenty of room for adjustment. Bolts on seatpost head are rounded out/overtightened, quick bit of work with a dremel or a hacksaw and some new bolts should sort it out)
Tatty flite saddle
Supernova E3 Pro dynamo light and B+M USB werk charger
Surly Nice front rack
Time ATAC pedals can be included, as can Ortlieb city panniers, for a little extra.
I'm not really sure on price given the low-end (but entirely functional) drivetrain and all the extras but is £600 reasonable? Feel free to make an offer if this sits for a while with no interest.
Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.
Tips:
Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----
To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word
To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word
Embed images by entering: ![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png) That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.
* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks
1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot
> Quote text by starting lines with >

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:
```

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
