I have too many bikes, and this one may have to go if I get a decent offer for it. Suitable for people of 6ft1 and above acc to Salsa, I'm 6ft 5 and its the best fitting bike I own. My Ti Litespeed Niota is my all day xc weapon and this isn't getting the use it deserves, and I'm torn between these two on xc days.

Spec:
Salsa Scandium frame 1" travel, in dark green (MkII version with better tyre clearance)
Rockshox Reba Race Dual Air 29er forks with remote lockout, Uncut Steerer, working perfectly
Bontrager Race Lite disc 29 wheels (dtswiss made hubs branded Bontrager. Will include Bontrager ACX f&R and XR f&r with spare tubes.
SRAM X-9 shifters and rear mech, LX front mech, Transfil sleeved cables for mud resistance
Hayes Stroker Carbon Brakes 180mm F&R, rear has a sticky piston that takes a little while to release fully (slight rub on releasiing lever briefly until piston retracts)
XT HTII Chainset, Sram PG970 Cassette, Sram PC951 chain I think
Race face stem and seatpost, Easton Monkeylite bars, Lock on grips, presently has an old WTB Pure SLT saddle, but its my fave so this may come off.
The paint on this is beautiful but fragile, so it has evidence of chain slap and scrapes on the inside of the chainstay from the disc rotor and rear wheel from removing the wheel. Never weighed it, but I would place it around 25lbs.
I have no Idea of what this is worth, so I will take offers, but I'd like them to be in the region of £850. I'm in Belfast if anyone wants a look, and more photos will appear shortly.
