All prices posted, a bit less if you pick up of course (in Plymouth).
Gifty/no fees paypal or bank transfer please. I'm a premier member, known to a quite a few other STW-ers and sold a fair bit on here before so I won't be messing you around.
New frame means I regretfully am selling this proper classic once-was-top-end xc race frame:
Giant xtc team frame, 2002 vintage in medium size.

-65 or 80mm travel adjustable by different shock positions on the rocker. Though you are supposed to ride it with no sag whatsoever, so the travel you get is comparable to a 100mm frame set up with 20% sag. Ridiculously capable frame, supposed to be run with an 80-90mm fork but I have settled on 100mm and its great.
-This is the reliable version, earlier ones had problems with seatstays and shock mounts cracking but this is the beefed-up version.
-18.5" seat tube (but 15.5" bb to centre of top tube for standover measuring purposes.)
-22" efective top tube. I am 5'11" and rode it with a not-silly length of seatpost showing and a 100mm stem.
-125mm headtube for semi-integrated headset, with the included ritchey headset in, the total stack height minus your choice of stem is 139mm, so this means you can plug in a silly-short fork steerer that no one else will buy and you get for less
-Takes 30.9mm seatpost, original non-qr giant seatclamp included.
-Takes 34.9mm low-band top pull front mech (I am selling the slx one I had on it below).
-normal 135mm dropouts, is disc mount. V-brake mounts with little rubber plugs in them but you'll have to find your own bosses to go in them.
-2 sets of bottle bosses with bolts, mech hanger is straight and untroubled, unfitted new spare one also included.
-BETD upgraded horst link bearings last summer (replaces old bushings with four max complement cartridge bearings. All bearings flushed and regreased one dry and dusty ride ago, all smooth and quiet.
-Ti suspension pivot bolts are all in great condition, all threads and faces on linkages, mounts and bb shell (68mm) are fine.
-RS sid shock specially made for NRS, top-end one with adjustable rebound. Aircan seals replaced last summer and another basic aircan clean/service one ride ago. Shock shaft anodising is starting to wear right up by the dust seal but still holds air and is quiet. Bushes replaced last summer, also has heavy-duty mount kit from TF tuned fitted on both ends.
Not-so-good bits: lots of little scratches and odd bits of cable rub (really don't think they thought about it at all when they planned the cable guides!) but nothing major or structural. I Have included all the worst ones in the photos.
Also a very shallow dent on the top tube, it took me quite a few goes to get a good photo of it so not really that major, I have ridden it for 2 years like this and the guy I bought it off did too.
Some wear on the inside of the seatstay/rocker joint where previous owner rode it with a collapsed bearing. This has worn about 0.25mm into the side of one of the rockers but masses of it is left and again I have ridden this for 2 years with no troubles.
So all in all, a 9 year old classic top-end race frame with impreccable reviews, (Here's a review of the 2000 version) not remotely mint but still running very well.
£120 posted with shock, seat collar, unfitted spare mech hanger and headset.
Also complete back end (fits any size NRS), purchased last year from another STW-er with a dead front end (Clubber iirc). Complete rear end, all new bearings and bushings plus 2 spare ones for rocker/seatstay which are the smallest and usually the first to go. one straight mech hanger and a wonky betd one you could have a go at straightening. Rockshox Sid xc shock with positive and negative chambers and preset (no adjuster) rebound. Shock shaft is in fine condition, I've never fitted it but I was advised it rode really well before. TI hardware has had slots cut into it where rounded off but is all perfectly useable and threads are all fine. I paid £45 posted, would like to have that back for it since I have never needed to use any of it.
-FSA SLK carbon seatpost, 30.9mm x 350mm layback. Carbon paste used and so all scuffy for the first 100mm, also very slight imprint of the seat-collar slot frin the frame in the back. Clamp is in great condition. It was a really nice post when I bought it, but by no means mint now, hence £18 posted.
-Shimano SLX FD M660 front derailleur. 34.9mm clamp, low band, top or bottom pull. A year old so pretty ok condition and no slop. (i forgot to photograph it so will put pics on the flickr collection linked to above a bit later) £14 posted.
-Fox Alpha jersey. Size xl, 23.5" pit-to-pit, 30" collar to tail. Brown and grey, crew neck long sleeve with extremely subtle (for fox) branding in the form of a single logo on the sleeve. Mesh bits for cooling and soft smooth lycra stretchy collar and cuffs. Nice jersey but I just have too many now, realised I hadn't worn this one for about a year... £10 posted.
