And my first second-hand famed bike is.... an Intense 5.5. The frame was £410 off eBay.


Did a lap of Cwn Cairn on Friday and love it.

The mate i got it off paid over twice that and barely rode it before i bought it.
brilliant

wheels 20 quid ebay
brakes 38 quid stw forums
other bits stw forums / doner bike (also from stw forums- 50 quid)

great dog walking bike and I can ride it to work. Trouble is I really like it and the meta isnt getting a look in!
My 456, ridden only 15 miles before I bought it, but I'm the fourth owner.
All my bikes are 2nd hand - if you know what you're looking at/for the it's the best bang for your buck.




Bought from here, gradually getting it the build it deserves, simply brilliant bike.
Nice Sunn there, ajantom. What age/model is that? Is it a Notion?
Here's my second hand Lava Dome - cost me a whole tenner a couple of years back.
Cheers
It's a Sunn Crosss (love the triple S in the name!) Think it's a 2002/03 frame.
I was given it by my sister's ex b'friend when my old M2 Stumpjumper was nicked. It started life as a rental bike in the Pyranees, then lived in Montpellier as a commuter for a couple of years, and is now my winter SS fun bike - and to be honest it gets ridden most of all my bikes.....rides lovely
Ajanton, this one maybe? Brilliant source of Sunn info if your interested.
