So, my girlfriend is finally moving on her old Jekyll on. It's a unique bike originally built for a mate who works for Cannondale; we've had it since about 2005 or so. It's (we think) a 2003 frameset, pretty much last of the original threaded shock mount frames with 130mm of travel and was replaced by the Prophet.
Unique as it is a Badboy Jekyll front triangle with a rack mount, but in a sweet blue colour and fitted with a Lefty Max 140 fork with TPC damping. It's a medium frame; geometry is here:

We're selling a rolling chassis:
Frame (Jekyll in Medium)
Shock - Manitou Swinger 3-way air shock. It's a standard swinger piston/ internals in a special body so servicing isn't a problem
Headset
Fork - Lefty Max TPC with 140mm of travel. Works as is but could benefit from a service in the not too distant future. Coil sprung, was sweet for 75kg rider.
Front Mech - XTR of c.2002 vintage, very good nick indeed
Bar/ stem - adjustable Syntace set-up.
Wheelset - all black
- front is a Cannondale Lefty SI hub on a Mavic X3.1 Disc UST rim (basically the rim that is now the XM819)
- rear is a Shimano 475 hub on a Mavic X117 rim - brand new wheel
Condition is pretty good; although old it hasn't been ridden a vast amount and she isn't exactly an aggressive rider.
In the "something to declare section"
- there is some significant cable rub on the downtube drive-side; it's into the metal a bit so not pretty but nothing to worry about
- the Lefty works fine but could do with a service, not least because the bearings migrate more than they should (it's a known "feature" of Leftys - and we take it as a sign that it needs some TLC). Also some cable rub on the leg, slightly more than superficial.
On the plus side:
- all threads as they should be
- shock holds air (both main and secondary chamber)
- all bearings are good
Also have a mech hanger for it, if it shows itself will include that.
Some pics (NB - the back wheel in some of them is a different one to that we are selling, and the front rotor and calliper adaptor ain't for sale).

Mail in profile if interested. £350 which, I can assure you, will be invested in sorting the fence/ leaves/ weeds/ slabs/ grouting.
(NB pics are a wee bit old as have hummed and hawed about actually selling, but needs must. Bike has not been used since taken, at risk of stating the obvious, so still accurately reflect condition.)
