    The colour is listed wrong on the receipt. What can I say, I’ve learnt a lesson about making sure receipts are correct. I have contacted 8bar asking them to amend, hopefully they are able to .. although it was 5 years ago!!

    I don’t really know what you’re accusing me of. Do you think I’m the owner of a red 8bar bike who stole a silver 8bar bike to sell online?

    Glad that people are so keen to fact check who is selling what, but just also human error happens, things get recorded wrong and it doesn’t necessarily mean that anything shady has happened. :)

    The bike there is listed as collection only and it’s in Exeter. I assumed that as this is a London forum I would be having to relocate the bike, and so would involve additional hassle for me. Not trying to take the piss, I listed as ONO. If someone wants to come get it from Exeter we can chat :)

    The bike is in Exeter but I travel to London frequently so can bring it with me next time if someone wants to buy!

    Hey, I have the Fhain. As per the photos, if can provide more photos. I can’t explain why my receipt says space red, clearly the receipt I was provided with has an error. I didn’t think it would be so important at the time to make sure the colour was correct. But I did genuinely buy the bike. The frame is aluminium.

    It comes as per the photos, I just want it to go to a good home because it’s a great bike and I gave up cycling!

    Ouch! I guess it’s good the community are so stringent when it comes to verifying sellers but I promise I am legit.

    If you must know I was involved in a velodrome crash (on a different bike) shortly after buying both of these in 2018. Memory of exact spec or bikes not great following head injury and 5 years retired from cycling.. Hence heavy use of copy paste from the 8bar website. Here is a receipt for the purchase, which I can forward the original email of if anyone has any doubts.

    Thanks for your due diligence. And sorry that I listed for a different price elsewhere, I wasn’t trying to be cheeky. I listed as Ono and I can delete from FB and ebay if that’s the rule?

    Trek Emonda SL5 2018 - size 56, Carbon Fibre, Very good condition.

    Émonda SL 5 is the gateway to carbon road bike models in our lightest road bike family. It's fast and light, with a balanced ride quality, superior handling characteristics and a parts group that's fast and dependable over the long haul. It's a great choice for century rides on hilly terrain, fast climbs and speedy descents.

    It gives me great sadness to sell this beautiful bike. Due to ill health and a long stint living overseas it hardly ever got ridden.

    As you can see there are a few minor scuffs to the frame behind the gear set, one of the crank arms, and one of the brake hoods. This is from transportation rather than any crash.

    I bought the bike and had a custom bike fit so the bike comes with many uprated parts that didn’t come as part of the Trek Emonda.
