Totally bomb proof build for what i need and is only 23.45lb!

I have some Continental Flow UST tyres that i'm selling. I have 3, one new and two that have had light summer duty. They are 2.3 wide and only 710g.

£30 for the lot plus postage?

They make a great xc tyre and seal really well.

I’ve fallen for this…..

stugus – Nice bike!

Here’s mine. They’re pretty similar in spec!

You’re right, the Orange can easily look a little dull, but some Autogylm and it’s sparkling again. My mates 4 year old PA 835 ahs just had the same treatment and looks new again.

I’d probably go for the purple one if i gad the choice again!! Lots of orange bikes out there, not many purple ones.

Go for it, what ever colour they’re fantastic bikes.

I’m still waiting for a Ti PA – come on Mike.

Sounds painful – you should probably get that looked at!

The orange in real life is stunning!

Cheers JamieMC – that info looks pretty easy to follow. I know what you mean about stripping your components, it’s nice to know how to fix them.

Swiftacular – very nice set up. Gold is about as special as you can get, but my bike’s orange and wouldn’t look pretty.

Cheers Swiftacular, especially for the loctite reference. I’ll sort it after my ride tonight.

I’ve got the shiny black Straitliine levers in my office now. BLING!

How about this?
