For sale is my 2003 Cannondale Gemini, with Manitou Sherman forks. Its a great bike, that can handle anything from some UK downhill, to freeride/trail centre trips, and even the occasional all-day ride. Unfortunately it's been sitting in my parents garage, hardly used for the last 4 or 5 years, so it has to go.
The frame provides 140mm, 160mm or 170mm of travel, adjustable with an allen key, while the fork changes from 130mm to 170mm travel at the turn of a knob.
The bike has the cosmetic rubs and scrapes to paintwork and stickers that you'd expect, and needs some new rear shock bushings, but otherwise is in good working condition. The forks were serviced, and the SPV system rebuilt by TF Tuned two weeks ago, so they are running like new.
Bike is as pictured below, photos were taken today. Only differences will be tyres and pedals, as I am keeping those shown on the bike. Tyres will be Michelin Mountain X'Trem, and pedals either Wellgo V8 copies or Time ATAC Z Freeride, depending on your preferences.
I am happy to post the bike if someone can suggest a good courier/service, otherwise you can collect from either Canterbury, or London, with a bit of notice.
Looking for around £500, and happy to consider offers.
