Hey everyone,
Well modified this clearout as having talked with my riding buddy recently, we've come to the conclusion it's stupid having DH bikes when we use them so infrequently and I'm changing my type of ride so that I can ride more with a less specific bike, so up for sale are my DH bits and pieces:
MORE PICS OF EVERYTHING HERE:
http://s551.photobucket.com/home/02mgthomas/index
1) Orange 222 Frame: I recently rawed it to get a nice finish as the paintwork was looking shabby. 9.76lbs with rear axle, shock, steel spring, seatclamp and hope headset.
Will come with:
-Old Style Hope Headset (RRP £70 odd) - (better sealing than the newer style anyway!),
-31.8mm QR Seatclamp
-Bearings good - mega cheap to replace anyway (£15 from Orange)
-12 x 135mm Rear Axle
-Fox Vanilla RC Rear Shock (Tf'tuned in the past)
-450 x 2.00 FOX Spring, 2.75" Stroke over 8.5"
-http://www.orangebikes.co.uk/2003bikes/222.html
-1 1/8th Headtube
-73mm BB
-135mm x 12mm Spacing
-The bike has one dent in it which is shown in the pictures and has previously been given the all clear, it situated about 2/3rds of the way down the downtube, near the bb.
-There are some specs of the original paint still on the bike as shown in a few of the pics, i.e. near the cable mounts/shock mounts/dropouts however they are very minimal and once built up you don't notice them.
-The only stickers are 2 large Orange ones on the downtube, if you wanted replacement decals these can be had from Orange for about £15 but I presonally like the look of the simplistic decals.
-This frame rides really really well, first full on DH frame I've had but have previously owned a Commie Meta 6, 2 Hecklers, A Blur, Reign X, and many hardtails, this is by far the fastest bike I've ever owned and built into a 34lb DH monster with the Cherry Forks, 321/Bulb wheelset and some other bits.
£300 POSTED with all the above bits.
2) 2002ish Boxxer Cherry Red Forks
-180mms of Plush USA made Travel
-Took apart this afternoon with new Oil put in
-Come with 4 springs to fine tune to your weight
-The classic accompaniment for any 222
-6.44lbs - lighter than most modern DH forks!!
-Super Plush Travel - by far better than Pike/Lyrik/Argyle/Revs I've owned before
-7" Springs
Showing age:
-3/4 Pinch bolts for the axle have gone, however this doesn't matter as the axle screws into itself so the axle still stays mega secure
-Paint chipped here and there
-Some wear to stancions as shown in pics
-The rebound assembly - the small ball bearing for the internal assembly has been lost, however this is far from vital.
-Overall these are excellent forks which are super plush and feel awesome however they are showing their age, but even a spares these'd be worth a fair bit, lowers are good, axle's OK slightly rounded but easy to remove still, stancions are OK, drop crown, bump stops, V and Disc Compatible, 4 Springs included! 1 medium, 1 soft, 2 extra soft worth about £25 each alone new!
£110 POSTED

7) Mavic 321 Rim on Hope Bulb Rear Wheel:
-1140g (2.5lbs)
-12 x 135mm
-No dents in the rim
-Will be trued/tensioned before posting
-No excessive wear to the freehub - unlike newer ProII alloy ones which look chewed up after a days riding!
-The freehub is a little loose however this is OK, it does not affect the wheel once riding and only very slight movement when played with by hand.
-Bearings are showing some signs of wear, a bit grindy, but feel good when on the bike wouldn't say they need replacing for a while.
£70 POSTED
