Posting for sale a 2015 Focus Mares AX in white with red and blue accents.

This bike was purchased from an advert on the forum 7 years ago, and has been in my possession since. I've ridden it a fair amount, and always had a lot of fun on it.

The components are mostly as they were when I bought it aside from having converted it back to 2x at the front (I still have the 1x conversion if you want it).

105 front and rear derailleur and shifters. 11-32 cassette.
FSA crankset
Focus Mares AX 2015
Juin Tech semi hydro brakes
Fizik Arione saddle
Hope Tech XC laced to Hope Pro2 Evo SP hubs

The bike definitely needs a service as I've not ridden it much in the last 4 years. I know for a fact that the following need looking at:

• New brake pads (parts 10-15 quid)
  
• New shifter hoods (parts 10-20 quid)
  
• Has a cheap halfords tyre on the back as I had an irreparable puncture whilst on a ride, this is fine but you'd probably want a new set of tyres front and back.
  
• One of the seat tube bottle cage nut threads is slightly damaged, it'll still hold a bolt, but I've not had a cage mounted to it since I noticed this.
  
  

Other than that, it's a 9 year old bike so as expected has a few chips but hasn't been crashed.

The original advert is here: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/311115

I'm not totally sure on pricing as I know bikes aren't worth what they used to be. I'd like to see £340 for it, tell me if this is way off.

Collection from se23. Any questions DM me or ask here.

Yeah I'm in. I'll DM you both.

Currently yes, but Sosa is first in line. I'll DM you should they decide it's not what they need 👍

Thanks @branwen. @sosa, I've sent you a DM.

Also edited the post to specify collection locations.

SOLD - £100

I'm selling my Btwin Oxylane 500 folding bike since it's served it's intended purpose for us. The bike is great for the price, not on the par of a Brompton but it's also a fraction of the cost.

I'm not going to find time to properly scrub the bike down but I think the price reflects that. There's some surface rust to the chain and cassette, but I'm sure this will come up alright after a clean. Generally I'd say it needs a minor service since it's sat in the spare room for a year unused. I have checked this morning that you can get into all the gears (could do with an indexing), and that the brakes work.

I think I have a spare tube somewhere for it, and I'll throw in a Kryptonie Keeper lock with one key if anyone wants it.

Collection SE23 or N1

Sold

Price drop to 35

In great condition are my Tannoy Mercury F1 Custom Bookshelf Speakers.
£45 will take them.
Collection SE23, can potentially drop off locally.

There's a small hole in one of the covers, and there are small felt pads on each corner of the bottoms (can be removed with rubbing alcohol)

Really cool!

I just went down a minor rabbit hole there looking at different tinted lenses you can get too.

Thanks folks. I wasn't aware of a battery disconnect issue, it's worth noting.

I will be going to the Brompton store to give one a test ride this weekend and then hopefully sort out a ride to work scheme certificate to pick one up if I like it.

What's the thinking on the Brompton Electric? Has anyone got the official one (i.e. not the swytch kit or similar)?

Rad ride! Also very good effort at that speed!

I rode the Dunwich Dynamo fixed a couple of years back, we finished in Manningtree which was about an extra 40 miles, plus an added 7 or 8 getting to London Fields.

It's not as hilly at 5500ft elevation gained, I rode an average 12.1 mph - So quite slowly.

I bonked cause I got sick of gels but other than that it was a good experience. 164 miles over 17 hours total and 13 1/2 moving.

I totally agree with @youramericanlover, you can definitely do it, it just may be slower / more conservative on the fast bits.

Awesome work!

Realise my wording was terrible there. I meant to say the 40th HM this year! Nine more years till 40 for me.

Thank you! Yeah it definitely is - I find the best run is the one where you get lost but somehow manage to get the distance home fairly perfect anyway. Those times fly past, I see new places and get to feel like there's an element of adventure to it.

My challenge for the year is to run a half marathon every week. I'm generally coming in around 1:50 - 2 hours which is just fine for me - I've never been as fast as some of you lot but I'm very much enjoying it.

Today I hit number 40 which feels like a milestone in it's self. Currently dreaming about trying to do one every day for the last week (not before, too risky injuring myself when I'm so far through!). Also wondering what I'll do next year.

Glad you're enjoying them and that you got a good price on them too!

Happy Friday :)

I've run 600 or so miles in the Clifton 7 and about the same in Clifton 8. Whilst I thought the Clifton 7 felt like a slightly better fit for me, I've never had any issues with either. I'm around 75kgs currently but was up to 82 at one point, both pairs are still perfectly useable. They're very cushioned which I did like, especially on days when I can't be bothered to stay on my forefoot!

I've done one marathon in each so perfectly good for longer runs too.
