Respect all kinds of riding, but nothing beats going down a hill.

Aug 12, 2019Giant Trance 3 (L)
$800 GBPOwned since new, I'm selling my Giant Trance due to minimal riding over the past year. I bought the bike from my LBS and added a few nice additions that have really made the bike a very capable machine.
It's been looked after well - I've completely torn down, cleaned/greased and rebuilt the bike after each winter - and other than the usual wear and tear is in very good working condition.
You can find the full specs of the bike from new on the Giant website (https://www.giant-bicycles.com/gb/trance-27dot5-3-2016), but the standout features are:
Frame: ALUXX SL-Grade Aluminium, 140mm Maestro Suspension
Fork: RockShox Sektor Gold RL Solo Air, 140mm travel
Shock: RockShox Monarch R
Brakes: Shimano XT (180/160 mm rotors)
Tyres: Continental Mountain King 2.4 (w/ inner tubes)
Chainring: Renthal 1XR (32t)
Handlebar: Renthal FatBar Lite
Grips: Renthal Lock-On (Kevlar resin)
Stem: Renthal Apex (50 mm)
Depending on your riding style, I'd say the large frame size would suit anyone from 5'10" to 6'3" (I'm just over 6'). Feel free to send me a text if you're interested. I am open to offers, but please be sensible!
Thanks for looking,
Will

Jul 2, 2015Specialized Pitch Pro
$680 GBPSelling my beloved Specialized Pitch due to being a student and simply not having enough money to fund other things such as holidays and partying. I'll probably look for another bike at the end of summer but for now it's time to part with what's been by far the best bike I have owned so far. Rapid descender and mountain goat climbing ability, it genuinely is a great all-rounder.
Aside from the chips in the paintwork around the back of the frame (which were there when I bought the bike second hand in late 2012), it's just suffered a bit of general wear from the occasional uplift and a few crashes as you would expect. The previous owner decided to sell me the bike with faulty forks so these were replaced in late 2012 with exactly the same specification as before.
It'll also have new rear brake pads, with the rear brake also bled.
I have serviced the bike myself regularly, so aside from the things mentioned above it runs pretty well. Pedal bearings aren't too great and nor are the rear hub bearings, as they are showing their age a little now.
If you have any questions drop me a message on here please.
I'll accept any reasonable offers!
Thanks,
Will
