Grass is maybe a bit long, otherwise very tidy.

Sweet bike, too.

The saddle is not that bad, more comfy that it looks.
Will get a new one when I sell the £200 Time Carbon Titanium pedals that also came on the bike! 🙂

Not the saddle itself, agree Phenom SLs are comfy, more the fact it's about 30 degrees nose down!

Iye, nice ride but it is really the right thing to pay peanuts to someone, then sell the bits from it for extortionate prices, instead of riding it.

That is a rhetorical question btw.

Although having said that, it's probably a waste on you and your best off selling and then trawling/trolling through other ebay auctions and repeating the same process all over again.

It has a strange combination of components 130mm fork on a hardcore hardtail with a stupidly lightweight set of wheels!

They'll be sold, and I'll probably try and get as much for them as I can as I have to replacement with sommat.

Is it really the thing? Hell yeah, I couldn't afford to buy all those components new but through luck and good fortune I have got them 🙂

How is it a waste on me?

No. The provenance, perhaps.
