The frame does have signs of wear, with some cable/chain markings and a couple of very small dents – see pics - but overall the bike is in good condition and has been well looked after. There is no play in the bearings and the excellent S-type shock works really well. Shock and fork serviced by TF Tuned in July 2009, I can include the paperwork.
Gears work fine – the XO shifters are sweet – but since it’s a used bike you might want to replace cassette, chain, etc. before long. New rear gear cable fitted. Brakes have been freshly bled and new pads fitted.
The bars and saddle have had little use. I replaced these soon after buying the bike, and have now refitted. New ‘Forte’ lock on grips fitted. The wheels are true but one of the bolts on the rear disc is rounded off. Pedals not included.
Looking for £350, for collection in Cardiff. Will deliver within 50 miles of Cardiff for £25. Prefer not to ship but would consider doing so for £40.
