I bought this as a shop build in August 2023 from C6 Bikes near Cambridge. After using it off-and-on for around 6 months I decided it was the wrong bike for me (I def prefer XC to Trail) and have hardly used it since.
It has only been ridden on Suffolk bridleways and in local forests, I’ve never ridden it on any big drops or “serious” trails. It’s mostly been ridden in good conditions and has been well looked after.
The bike has a couple of paint chips which I’ve indicated in 2 of the photos, and the last pic shows a light scuff on the top tube (annoyingly this happened when taking the photos for this advert as it slid against the chair I was propping it against).
Originally it had a RockShox Reverb Stealth dropper which I swapped for a carbon Hope rigid seat-post.
The full spec is below – collection from Ipswich, Suffolk preferred.
