And you ran it tubeless by masturbating into a pair of first-edition maxxis advantages.
bought this for £740 posted from Gumtree, gulp (definitely took a risk there but paid off), literally brand new condition, only a couple of chips on it, it has just had some brand new 66 rc3 forks on it which cost around £600 new!!! Could not believe my eyes when it arrived at my door!!! Looked up how much they were new when i bought it two years ago and it was around £2k
