Jun 30, 2014Trek Fuel ex7 2011
$775 GBPTrek Fuel ex7 2011 model. This 17.5 inch, medium size.
Really good bike and the suspension layout is good for UK trail riding, very little bobbing about when pedalling and stable under braking. With the shimano setup shifting is much better and the clutch mech is amazing.
Spec can be viewed here http://www.evanscycles.com/products/trek/fuel-ex-7-2011-mountain-bike-ec023971
Upgrades done Sept 2013:
Converted to 2x10
Shimano SLX M670 shifters (£45), M675 shadow plus rear mech (£50) (the clutch one which makes the drivetrain so quiet now and no dropped chains),
Hope bash guard to replace the outer ring (£33)
Total parts after whatever discount was applied cost me easily over £100 + labour at the LBS to install
Good Condition overall - usual marks from usage but there is a full invisframe kit so ought to be much better underneath if the protection is pealed off.
No dents. dings or cracks.
No play in any bearings or bushings, shock bushing has just been replaced. New brake pads and new shifting cables in April
No expense spare maintenance at LBS including a suspension service every 6 months and and has been looked after very well.
The pictures show a Hope wheelset - Hope pro 2 evo + ZTR crest; but the bike will come with the hardly used stock wheels (maybe 12 rides at the most). I could possibly do a deal on the wheelset if the price is right, it is the best upgrade i've done thus far. I'm also putting back the bontrager seat that came with the bike and keeping my seat.

Jul 7, 2013SLX M660 shifters 3x10 new unused
$33 GBP3x10 Slx M660 came off bike unused as I changed to a XT 2x10 set up. Comes with brand new cables and all outers in the XT box as I have reused what was on the bike. They will be mailed in the XT box so you'll see they are original stuff and not cheap replacements.
£33 includes postage - recorded delivery, paypal gift payment please
If collected in Edinburgh or Glasgow (only from 8th-12th July at 9am queen street station/1230pm outside central station) I can settle for £30 cash.
