    Hello,

    I have a set of DT Swiss carbon tubular wheels to sell.

    photos: http://imgur.com/a/ifvSV

    They have seen about 2-3k KMs in only good weather and only used with the correct brake pads.

    These wheels are incredibly light, under a kilo for the set. They are in good condition and true. They come with Schwalbe Ultremo Tubs attached with tape . The rear is a 22mm with only about 50 KMs on it and the front is a 25mm with about 1000 KMs on it. The front one is quite worn, but has a bit of life left in it whereas the rear one looks new. The rims have very little wear to the braking surface in my opinion.

    I have upgraded the free hub body to 11spd using the official kit from DT.

    spec:
    RRC 425F 32 (420g, – spokes: 20 radial)
    RRC 525R 32 (530g, – spokes: 24 2X)

    Hubs have 100mm spacing front and 130mm rear, both based on their 240s hubs.

    they are a few years old now, originally purchased in 2010.

    they were £800 front and £1000 rear when I got them so I hope £850 for the condition they are in now seems like a good price. I'm open to offers.

    thanks for looking.

    Hello,
    I no longer have space for this beast of a bike so she needs a new home. Absolutely awesome bike but I don't have time to use it properly anymore :(

    It's only done a few tours of Scotland and a bit of tarmac in London, less than 1500 miles in total.

    I purchased the 9spd version then upgraded the gears to XT 10spd when I didn't get on with the microshift stuff. It has the extra wide 710mm Jones Loop bar on it.

    geometry chart: http://www.ison-distribution.com/image/complete/ECRgeometry.png

    Spec:
    Frame: Surly ECR medium
    Gears: Shimano XT 10spd shifters and mechs
    Chainset: Surly O.D., 22/36t
    Wheels: Surly Rabbit hole 29er+ rim laced to a Surly Ultra New Disc on the front and Shimano FH-M525 on the rear.
    Tyres: Surly Knard 29x3
    Brakes: Shimano xt hydro disc brakes, 180 front 160 rear.
    Pedals: XT SPD trail version.
    Headset: Cane Creek 40 series.
    Grips: Ergon GC-1, designed for a swept back bar.
    Handle bar: Jones loop aluminium 710mm

    It will be supplied with a black seatpost and saddle, nothing special but reliable. Probably a Black genetic heritage post with a Bontrager saddle. You can have the silver post in the pic if you want.

    The rack is a Tortec expedition. A great rack but if you don't want it I'll take it off.
    It has a Minoura headset spacer light mount, I like it, and it sticks the light low and centred.

    Also supplied but not pictured, a Salsa frame bag from a Fargo that fits perfectly. This is why the frame is a bit scuffed in places. This one: salsacycles.com/components/catego-ry/frame_bags/em_fargo_frame_bag

    I've run it Tubeless and with tubes, right now it's got a tube in the front and setup split-tube tubeless on the rear. I ran it tubeless at 10psi in Scotland and it was so smooth. I never had a puncture on it.

    Any questions? Let me know.

    It's available for a test ride in Putney (sw15).

    Asking £1150. or somewhere near that.

    Hi,

    I have an my old Charge Mixer to sell. It's a very reliable bike with a smooth ride but I have no space anymore so some bikes will have to go.

    Used but well looked after, the paint finish has started to peel of around the top of the fork, check the pics for the detail.

    SIZE = small, top tube = 535mm, seat tube 569mm (from the charge geo sheet)

    The bike spec is:
    Brakes : Shimano Hydraulic disc brakes 160mm rotors front and rear
    Gears : Shimano Alfine 8spd internal gear hub.
    frame : Charge Mixer steel frame and fork
    crank : Shimano alfine
    Bottom Bracket : Shimano hollowtech 2 external
    Saddle : Charge Spoon
    seat post : something basic, 27.2mm black
    stem : Bontrager ssr aliumnium
    Handle bar : Easton EC70 Carbon Handel bar (for comfort)
    Shifter : Shimano Alfine
    Pedals : Sealed bearing VP comfort pedals (brand new)

    photos can be seen here: http://imgur.com/a/ncQhT

    Supplied with a PitLock for the Alfine hub making it far more difficult for some nefarious fool to steal it.

    If your looking for a bike you wont have to worry about, that will just work and that servicing can be done infrequently, this could be for you.

    I live in SW15 so if you would like to come and see it / test ride it( recommended before purchase), contact me and we can arrange a time.

    Looking for £400 ono. cash / paypal / BACS. Collection preferred but will ship at buyers cost.

    Thanks for looking.
