Stanton Switch9er 18” 631 Reynolds. Grey
$350 GBPStanton Switch9er 18” Grey Reynolds 631.
Used but in great condition. Has a few marks in line with a used bike of its age. I’ve added photos of paint chips etc. there is a very minor dent/scratch just above the bb which has zero structural effect but I feel it’s only fair to mention it.
Included is original axle and a bolt through axle which is a bit less bulky. A hope seat collar. A spare set of drop outs. A Chris King head set
Used the bike for trail riding and bike packing with forks from 140 to 160. I prefers it at 160mm. Great frame I just getting old and needed some cushion hence the sale.
I’m happy to package and post as long as buyer covers th cost and allows for time to get to the post office.

Bergman Der Keiz
$350 GBPBergman Dee Keiz Pro Jump Bike.
Aluminium frame with built in wheel tensioners
Manitou Circus Fork
Saint Crank / hope BB (will need new seals, bearings are good) needs a bb spacer. I didn’t have one when I put the crank and bb on.
Bike has a couple of minor scratches but is in genuinely good condition.
Will need a new single speed gear for the rear, currently has part of a cassette and does ride ok.
Surplus to requirements and too nice to leave unused. Ideal pump track or bmx track bike or trails or skatepark.
Very nice in the flesh.

Podcast: Matt Jones Talks Becoming A Red Bull Athlete & Big Film Projects
Redbull is like any other sponsor. Get off your high horses about it. No one makes people drink redbull. If your gullible enough to think it gives you super powers then frankly you deserve a highly caffeinated sugary drink.

Pinkbike's Share the Ride Brings Bikes to Kids in Germany
Germany has a 48 billion euro government surplus. They should be buying every kid a bike for Christmas. Maybe even grown ups too. Not detracting from the great work being done by the organisation just stating a country with such deep pockets could do more for its underprivileged and folk on hard times

Pinkbike Poll: Is There a Chain Guide on Your Bike?
I ride a 29er hardtail, stanton Sherpa to be exact. Bike is ridden pretty hard and I’ve got the oneup top guide. I’m also still running a modified slx 10spd standard mech (hope jockey wheels) no clutch. The guide is a must in rough and rocky terrain such as coming down welsh rough ass single track. Found the chain would bounce off. Since the top guide I’ve has no issues. Cost £30 quid and as the chain won’t come off I’ve got a lot more life out of my NW chain rings. My two pennies yo

Sam Hill Interview: EWS - Crankworx Whistler 2017
I rarely comment but Sam Hill in the early days was the reason riding became my passion. Seeing him slice a corner made me feel rad. Still does. I'm so glad that he has re ignited his passion. #flatpedalswinmedals
