WTD: Hybrid (yes!) for short friend

Posted on
  • He’s had a Trek 17” nicked and my offer of a 1x9 Franken-Rockhopper didn’t quite fit his needs/style: Mid-50s with crumbling knees. Would like something similar to the stolen bike, but maybe less of the boat anchor this time, eh?

  • Would something like this suit him? 1x8 raleigh cajun

  • That’s nice - would need a bigger range on the back and a riser, but could be a platform to build from.
    What size is that and how much?

  • don't know much about mtb sizing - but in road measurement it has st=48cm, tt=53cm. Looking for £250 collection only in London E14, but let me know if the asking price is off. Details below:

    components

    • Handlebars : nitto olympiade 115
    • Stem : unknown
    • Brake levers : tektro
    • V brakes : tektro
    • Headset. : tange
    • Saddle. : selle italia (need to check model)
    • Tyres : schwabe gum wall city jet
    • Crankset : sram apex 170mm with spacycle NW chainring (38t)
    • Pedals: mks sylvan road pedals with mks half toe clips
    • Bottom bracket: sram gxp
    • Group: shimano 105 8sp (1056, vintage!) rear mech, rear bar end shifter (indexed), cassette 13-26t
    • Chain : KMC 8 sp
    • Seatpost : ITM? need to double check
    • Wheels: shimano 5700 36h hubs laced to kinlin adhn 26", alpina spokes
    • Mudguards: SKS

    Surface rust & scratches expected on a frame this age, plus a minor dent on top tube. The bike is at my brother's place now but I can take some pictures to highlight the imperfection this weekend.

    With regards to riser setup, I can swap in (or include for extra +£10) a flat bar set up with tektro brakes and claris 8 sp trigger shifter, clarks grip & a bell

    edit: also can throw in a rear rack for free

  • Cheers, am sending on the details now.
