This is duplicated from my advert on Retrobike, where it has had plenty of views, but no follow ups.Â
This sale is for the complete bike as shown in the photos.
I have owned the bike for around ten years, but it has only been used occassionally in the last 5 years. I decided I was going too fast for my own good on full suspension, so I am almost exculsively on my hardtail now. I thought I’d keep this bike forever, but an impending house move has triggered a rationalisation of the fleet.
The specification is as follows:

1) Fox Float RP3 air shock (very little use)

The condition of the frame and parts is all good & clean, cared for, but used. Everything works and is usable though some servicing is probably needed to have it running at its very best. All bushes and bearings seem are in good order. One of the grease ports is missing, but has been like this throughout my ownership. The grease gun works direct into the frame and the hole is then taped over until the next top up.
Not much to base the price on. Recent Ebay frames appear to have sold at between one and two hundred pounds.
I’m looking for £325 collected from Rossendale, East Lancashire, but open to offers before it heads over to Ebay. May be able to deliver within the vicinity.
