Second attempt at selling - first time noticed an oil leak from the forks just after advertising so had to withdraw it. Now fitted new motion control and air u-turn seal kits and serviced the forks - all running sweet and leak free now.
Price is now £530 as I think I undervalued it before and have put £50 worth of seals and oil in the forks. Original ad below:
As title, selling my 456 SS.

Would make a great second bike for ragging around the local woods or saving the full-sus from really muddy days or even a really good value solid bike for someone just getting into mtb'ing.
Size-wise I'm 5'9" and it is perfect for me with the 50mm stem on it. I reckon it would suit people from 5'7 to 5'11" depending on their personal preferences and intended use for the bike. Can supply with a 70mm raceface stem if preferred.
The bike's been well used but is in great working order. It has a few marks as to be expected and the usual cosmetic rust around the edge of the gussets but this happens on all steel on-ones, even the painted ones, and is purely cosmetic.
