2013 Kinesis ff29 large with hope stans shimano

This is my custom/hand built large Kinesis FF29 hard tail. It was built last March (2013), including the wheels, by my local bike shop. They have also maintained it.

This frame and components are reviewed by bike radar. If your looking for a light, strong and quick trail hardtail then.....

All of the components were brand new with the exception of the hope hubs and stem (on previous bike). The rear hub has had new bearings fitted (about 6 months ago).

The bike runs perfectly and was not cleaned especially for the photos, which were taken 13/04/14, this is how it's kept. Cleaned (not pressure washed) and greased after every ride using hope and fenwicks products. It was serviced last week by my LBS, during which a new chain was fitted.

There is minimal cosmetic damage, please see photos. None of which make any difference to its performance. Parts that were likely to suffer cable rub etc were helicopter taped at new. I've only ridden it twice with flats, therefore minimal rubbing on cranks. There are slight contact marks on the bottom of the cranks. There is rubbing on the crown of the fork and slight sticker damage. A small scrap on handlebar and small rub marks on top tube. It has been used for its intended purpose after all.

The complete bike weighs 26lb. This is the bike as pictured including pedals (nuke proof electron flats - not included in this sale) and carbon bottle cage (not included in this sale). This was not built to be light so it could be made lighter if that's your thing.

The components are as follows:-

Kinesis FF29 large frame in green
X Fusion 29 Slide 120mm in black
Hope head set in black
Hope 80mm zero rise stem in black
Kinesis strut carbon flat 750mm handle bar
Green lizard skins lock on grips
SLX brakes (180 front / 160 rear)
SLX shifters (2 x 10)
SLX double cranks
SLX front mech
SLX shadow plus rear mech
SLX 10 speed cassette
Sram chain
Hope eternity seat post in black
Hope seat clamp in black
Madison flux saddle
Hope evo pro 2 front and rear hubs (black - rear hope qr and front x fusion 15mm)
Stans arch ex rims with black spokes
Schwalbe Racing Ralph 29 x 2.25 evo pace star snake skin (setup tubeless at present).

Reasonable offers only please. UK bidders only too I'm afraid.

Collection preferred but can post via LBS. The cost if this is £32.50 (additional to price listed), this includes professionally packed and insured.

Can arrange viewing but for genuine buyers only. I haven't broken down the cost of this build but would be around £2100 new. If your considering this you'll know that anyway.

I am 6 ft 3 and this bike fits me perfectly. As you can see from photos there is plenty of scope to taylor it (seat post, seat and stem length/height). I'd say it would suit 5ft 10 to 6 ft 4, but that's only my opinion.

Ive noticed that the back tyre is slowly loosing pressure (over a matter of days). Iut doesn't bother me but have a 2oz bottle of stans sealant which I will include in this sale.

Anything I've missed get in touch.

I also have a pair of Crank Bros Candy 2 pedals that match the price, available at additional cost.
