    Niner RLT9 Steel frame and fork, 2019 model in 56cm size .

    Excellent condition; used only on a couple of occasions. I cannot see any cosmetic damage. The fork steerer has not been cut very much. It is relatively clean although there is some dirt or sand trapped under the protective tape on the down tube near to the bottom bracket (Can be seen in the photographs)

    Everything you need to know is below:

    Here is a full spec list from the niner website (https://web.archive.org/web/20190911210622/https://ninerbikes.com/products/rlt-9-steel):

    Maximum front rotor size: 160mm
    Maximum rear rotor size: 160mm
    Fork rake: 45mm
    Seat post size: 27.2mm
    Cable routing: Outer-cable external, electronic (Di2, etap) internal.
    Headset size: 1.125" X 1.5" TAPERED ZERO STACK HEAD TUBE, 44MM UPPER, 56MM LOWER, CANE CREEK DESCRIPTION: ZS44/28.6 ZS56/40
    Chainring compatability: 1x, 2x and 3x
    Q-factor: 168mm
    Bottom bracket type: PF30, 68mm wide (Sram pressfit).
    Brake mount type: flat mount (30mm rear)
    Rear wheel spacing: 12 x 142mm thru axle
    Front wheel spacing: 15 x 100mm thru axle*
    Max tyre clearance: 700x45c or 650B x 47c
    

    The differences between this frameset and newer models is:

    tyre clearance is (only) 45cm (instead of 50cm)
    Front through-axle is 15x100 (mtb non-boost) instead of 12x100 (road).
    A few less bosses and bolts for bag mounting
    

    Also included:

    Fitted Hope PF30 bottom bracket
    Fitted Cane Creek headset
    Fitted protective frame tape: down tube,seat tube, top tube near bag mounts
    Extra derailleur hanger
    Custom made frame bag
    Original headset
    Some screws for mounts (Not photographed)
    Head badge (has come loose from frame)
    brake conversion mounts (from flat mount to post mount)
    derailleur cable guide
    Extra external cable guides for down tube
    Plastic piece to accept 34.9mm clamp on front derailleurs
    Compression plug and top cap
    

    *I am also selling compatible wheels (DT swiss and Fulcrum hubs have replaceable end caps making them compatible with a 15mm axle)

    In my opinion this is a very good offering for a gravel bike:

    The geometry is a good balance between comfort, handling and practicality for multiple use case scenarios (Please see geometry chart: https://web.archive.org/web/20190911210624im_/https://media.pagefly.io/file/get/rlt9_steel_geo-1minjpg-1546549890838.jpg)
    The tyre clearance is ample for wide tyres making for a comfortable ride (The frame material has no bearing on ride quality or comfort!)
    The steel frame makes for a strong and dependable bicycle which will take good care of you if you take good care of it
    

    I bought this at the end of last year with the intention of doing my own gravel bike build but I have decided to only focus on road bikes. That being said, I am in no hurry to sell...

    I would much prefer it if you collect the bike frame however if it is necessary to ship it I will do it properly. The frame will be well packaged with pipe insulation protecting the frame tubes, it will come in an appropriately sized bicycle box with lots of packaging inside and will be shipped with parcelforce 48.

    To buy the equivalent frame from new it would cost ~£1,400 (https://www.bikeinn.com/bike/niner-rlt-9-gravel-frame/137545944/p?id_producte=10645462&country=UK&belboon=2107152212206310910&campaign=) and I am including the hope BB (~£100: https://r2-bike.com/HOPE-Bottom-Bracket-PF30-PF46-73-mm-stainless-steel) , to potential cost to install the BB and cane creek (~£50: https://www.chainreactioncycles.com/cane-creek-40-series-zs44-zerostack-headset/rp-prod115635) headset amongst other things so this is a considerable saving for a frame which is practically new.

    £800 for collection from North Manchester + £25 shipped in the UK

  • Sweet frame. Just a hint: according to the forum rules you can't offer anything here that is also for sale elsewhere (like eBay).

  • I wasn't aware of that. Thanks for the heads up!

  • Nice to see this pointed out gently for a change (guilty as charged).

  • I am not sure why it is doing that funky thing with the quoted code for listed items. I am going to leave it for the time being...

  • Get outta town! This is nice!
