May 2, 2022Whyte T-130S (L) - Upgraded, Serviced + New Parts!
$1149 GBPHi
Up for sale is my gorgeous size Large Whyte T-130S in very good used condition. I have owned this bike since June 2019 and it has been my personal trail slayer! Ideal for those between 5’10 and 6’3 (biggest size Whyte did in this model).
This has been largely upgraded with no expense spared and has been loved (only ever kept inside during my ownership) and fully maintained since original purchase as condition/ ride shows!
I have spent over £600 in the last 6 months alone in upgrades and services, likely spending more time making this look and ride perfect than riding it itself!
A true reluctant sale, but our house is unfortunately not getting any larger and this is far too nice to sit as a wallflower! This is working to its full potential, and running incredibly smooth. It needs to be enjoyed as such!
The condition of this is very good, with only markings, minor chipping and scratching (a handful on the whole bike) expected from a used product of this nature.
Structurally the T-130S is perfect with no dings, cracks or dents to worry about. This has been taken care of since new as condition and riding quality shows.
The specification is massively capable and perfect for British trail centres but would not feel out of place in alpine regions!
This excellent and capable specification is as follows:
Frameset: Whyte T-130S - Large - Orange - Shimano BB, FSA Sealed Headset - 27.5” Wheels
Rear Suspension: RockShox Monarch Debonair RT3 - Incredibly plush, serviced 80 riding miles ago.
Fork - RockShox Revelation RL Solo Air 130mm - Incredibly smooth and capable fork that is fully adjustable. Barely a mark to the lowers and stanchions are spotless in great shape - Wiper seal service 80 miles of use ago.
Gears: 1X11 Shimano XT Shadow with wide ratio. This offers plenty of choice when riding on all types of terrain - Rapid fire 11 spd Shimano SLX rear shifter. Shifting as crisp and smooth as when new and arguably better! This was set up by an ex Tour de France mechanic for the fastest shifting possible and does not disappoint!
Chainset: Crankset and Chainrings - 1x11 SRAM 1400 Crankset + Oval NW Chainring - Rigid and lightweight - Incredible set up, and the best I’d found after 3 different set ups before!
Brakes: Shimano SLX - Hydraulic Disc Brakes - Freshly Bled/ Serviced with new genuine Shimano hose, barbs and joiner on 29/04/2022 at Summertown Cycles (Oxford)-180mm Rotor F - 160mm Rotor R- Great modulation and stopping power, far superior to standard. (SRAM brakes from standard can be included free of charge in sale upon request)
Wheels: 27.5” WTB ST i23 Tubeless Ready Double Walled rims on candy orange Whyte hubs - Perfectly true and running fast like new.
Tyres: WTB Trail Boss 2.25 Front and Continental Mountain King 2.2 on the rear - Perfect UK tyre combo for fast rolling yet supple grip
Bar: Whyte Alloy - Brand new Funn lock on Grips - Orange (never ridden)
Stem: Whyte Gravity Alloy 70mm
Saddle: Brand new Brand X Saddle (never ridden)
Seatpost: RockShox Reverb Stealth - 125mm drop
This is ready to ride anywhere and to be enjoyed by a new owner after extensive work has taken place to make sure it’s up to scratch as it has been since purchase.
In light of some expectations, to clarify, this is a used bike, please do not purchase expecting a new one. However, as mentioned for a used bike this is in great shape and working order. You will struggle to find a bike with service history as strong as this one!
Nationwide postage available via Parcelforce 48 for just £9.99 tracked and signed to your door, booked same day and collected next day after receiving clear payment through PayPal.
Brand new Shimano Deore high mount front derailleur + used Deore front shifter included in sale free of charge, as well as bottle cage.
If you have any questions whatsoever, please do not hesitate to get in contact.
Also on EBay at a higher price to account for enormous fees. More than happy to proceed in any way the buyer prefers.
Cheers,
Ben

Oct 4, 2021Airdrop Edit V3 - Mega Spec Enduro Bike - XL - 650b!
$2250 GBPHi,
Up for sale is this true sight for sore eyes, the mega-specced X-Large Airdrop Edit V3, designed and built up in Sheffield, UK with little use from brand new.
This bike is in excellent condition, with evidence of very minor markings showing very little saddle time from brand new. This has been fully professionally and meticulously maintained throughout the course of ownership and there are NO structural issues or anything mechanical to worry about for thousands of happy miles to come.
This trail weapon is complimented by 160mm travel at the front, and 155mm of travel at rear, creating progressive damping and an aggressive slack head-angle with long length which feels incredibly controlled in descents, yet still climbs like a mountain goat. This geometry, suspension set up and versatility gives the Edit V3 a real edge on the competition on all types of terrain. A very capable all rounder!
The specification on this build is excellent, and really does define the term ‘mega spec’. This is as follows:
Frameset: Airdrop Edit V3 - XL - Designed in Sheffield - Cane Creek Headset + Sealed BB.
Rear Suspension: RockShox Super DeLuxe Ultimate shock 155mm
Front Suspension: RockShox Lyrik Select 160mm
Wheelset: Hope Fortus 30mm rims laced onto Hope Pro4 hubs
Tyres: Michelin Wild Enduro 2.4 tyres (almost new and set up as tubeless)
Dropper Seatpost: RockShox Reverb 200mm
Drivetrain: SRAM Eagle GX 12 speed
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: SRAM Guide RE
Handlebar: Spank Spike 777
Stem: Bontrager 50mm
Nationwide postage offered via Moon's Cycles, or alternatively collection is warmly welcomed near Stowmarket, Suffolk.
Grab an amazing deal, on truly 'sorted' one of a kind bike!
Best,
GC

This is a massively capable bike, and is smooth over all terrains the UK has to offer.
