Thanks. Sadly MTBs really don’t hold their value very well.

Price reduced to £750.

How tall are you bro?
Welcome to borrow it for a weekend and see how you get on.

2015 Whyte T-129S – Medium
120mm travel at each end.
Got rave reviews in the press and won loads of awards.
As original spec but has had a few upgrades:
Rear wheel rebuilt with new stans rim by Seabass.
New tyres and tubeless set up.
New Shimano XT groupset (£450).
New lock on grips.

Issues:
Dropper post needs a service.
A few scuffs from the way in which my heel kicks in.

Strava says I’ve done 1000km on it.

It's a great bike and brilliant all round full suss. Only reason for sale is that I want something with more travel and larger size. After £950. Collection from SE5 or central London.

More pics available if you need them in a Dropbox folder.

A few more pics.

Selling my GF's bike that never really got ridden and need space in the garage and she needs the money.

NOW SOLD. 09.06.2020

Sold.

Front basket from town bike now no longer needed. Originally from Seabass Camberwell. Not sure what brand. Fixes to bars and drop outs.

£10. Collection from SE5 / Camberwell / Denmark Hill.

Sure. As below.

How important is sensor size to you?
Essential to have a full frame sensor otherwise your 24mm shift lens won't be as wide. Get the best full frame camera you an afford. Having said that my D700 still is fine and delivers really good RAW files. You could start off second hand to save some cash. Currently using a D810 which is great but now need to upgrade my computer to handle the files.

Do you use a tilt-shift lens?
Yes, a 24mm shift and a 50mm prime are all I need really. Would like to get the 45mm shift also but not needed it in the ten years I've been working. I also have a 70-200 f2.8 but rarely use.

What do you use for post-work?
My workflow is based around Lightroom, Bridge and Photoshop. I stitch / blend images too. I take a top and bottom frame with the shift lens then blend together to get a 5x4 aspect ratio as well as more in the image. I often blend to avoid people in the way.

What tripod do you use?
I use a Gitzo carbon tripod - was around $700 but you don't need something that fancy. A sturdy aluminium tripod for around £150 would be more than fine. So long as it has a screw thread to change heads. I only got the carbon as I carry it around a lot and wanted to save my back.

The tripod is the most important thing is the tripod head! I use a Mafrotto Junior Geared head. It's perfect and allows micro adjustments to get the camera absolutely level. Don't think about shooting architecture without one.

Would you say anything other than camera, lens & tripod are essentials?
Remote shutter release, spirit level in the hot shoe (newer cameras have this built in), some way of shading the lens (a bit of black card), decent bag to carry it all in... that's it really. Oh, and decent memory cards - don't skimp on this. Get a recognisable brand from a reputable source.

The other one is Canon vs Nikon. Both the same really but Canon have slightly better quality shift lenses. I use Nikon but only because of what I started out with.

And whilst I’m here talking about cameras I recently sold my X100T and purchased a Ricoh GR II and love it. New favourite camera for carrying around at all times.

Sure. Happy to share publicly after for benefit of others if you like.

Not sure if I need to reply for you to get a notification. But here it is. And thanks to Amey for the nod.
