This is a fantastic bike, and I'm sorry to see it go, but it's not getting enough use and as I'm moving into a new place I'm looking to slim down my 'stable'.
The bike has consistently received rave reviews in What Mountain Bike and from owners. It rides brilliantly, is fully trail-capable but still super-light.
The spec is all the original gear, with brakes upgraded to XTR. The groupset, wheels and finishing kit have barely been ridden on (i.e. all but the frame/fork) - two rides when I first bought the bike, before I swapped it all out for my own kit, so it's been sat in a box since then. The kit's all basically as-new, with a few minor marks from storage. 2009 model.
It's the "18.5 but rides like a 17.5" size (Trek decided to confuse everyone with their sizing advice that year); the effective (horizontal) top tube is 585mm.
The frame shows signs of use, the usual light scuffs from off-road riding, a touch of chainsuck and one chip in the top tube paint; in excellent condition over all.
I work in a bike shop, and am fastidious about maintaining my bikes, so it's been very well looked after.
Looking for £1400 collected (London area), or will post at cost.
Please message me if you're interested; I have pictures for those that want them!
Happy shopping.
Dominic.
