$1100 GBP2014 Radon Swoop 9.0, Medium. 180mm Front travel, 190mm rear travel.
Bike is in decent condition overall - expected marks and scratches from two years of use. Forks have a scratch on the right stanchion as pictured. You can feel it if you run a nail over it, but it doesn't carry oil out.

Headset: Acros AZX taper
Fork: Fox 36 Talas RC2 Fit, Kashima, QR20
Travel: Front: 140/180mm; Rear: 190mm
Rear Shock: Rock Shox Vivid Air 222
Brakes: Avid Elixir 9 Trail, 200mm/200mm
Stem: Race Face Atlas black

Grips: Superstar - Will replace with original unused Radon grips if I find them.

Original (new) listing for bike here: https://www.bike-discount.de/en/buy/radon-swoop-190-9.0-20245
Only changes I have made are the grips - I'll put the virtually unused original ones back on if I can find them - and the tyres. It will come with the 3C High Rollers pictured. Front has only had a few days riding and is in good condition, rear is reaching the end of it's life.
No trades accepted, I'm selling as I've already bought its replacement. Silly offers will be ignored but questions and viewings are welcome :)
If I have enough interest in parts I may break it but will need most components spoken for before hand.

That's a piece of innertube there as a mudguard... a DIY http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/rapidracerproducts-neoguard-evil-eyes/rp-prod27830
My goggles thanked me.

Mar 8, 2015Orange 223, Zocchi 888s
$500 GBPAs you can see, Orange 223. Frame was powder coated black about three years ago just prior to my buying it and had new bearings and bushings at that point. Paintwork is generally in good condition, with the exception of the fork lowers - see pics.
Since then it's done three weeks in the Alps and various (10ish) uplift days around the UK. Swing arm has a thread saver in the hole for the mech and one of the axle holes had to be drilled out by 1mm, so it takes a stepped axle - two of these included!
Frame - Orange 223, small (I'm 5'10" and it's on the small side for me). I believe it's 2004.
Forks - Marzocchi 888, 180mm. I believe around 2006... Amazingly plush for such old forks, currently the compression damping adjust doesn't seem to do much - damper needs looking at. Had one weeks Alps riding since last service.
Shock - Fox Van R
Cranks - Truvativ Howitzer cranks
Chain Device - Blackspire NS-X chain device (upper chain guide has broken, chain runs fine)
Mech - Sram X9 short cage, recently replaced.
Wheels - Hope Bulb rear and Hope Pro2 front, laced to Mavic 823 rims. (rims are fully sealed which makes tubeless very easy) All bearings replaced half way through last Alps trip, so had about 3 days riding on them.
Tyres - NOT AS PICTURED - Will come with a pair of WTB Timberwolfs
Bars - Sunline, 760mm. Superstar fat grips. 50mm raceface stem.
Brakes - Hope M4 4-pot, 203mm front and rear
Saddle - Spoon Charge (Seatpost is too worn to identify... hope seat clamp)
Pedals - can include an old pair of Crank Brothers 5050s if wanted - in desperate need of a full service though!
Spares included in sale:
- 3 pairs spare brake pads, superstar sintered
- 2x Shock bushings
- 1x eyelet for the Mavic sealed rims
- As above, one spare stepped axle
Feel free to ask anything I might have forgotten!

First Look: Suntour Rux DH Fork Prototype
The XCRs are cheaper still... I had a Suntour X100 (a GT tuned variant of the one Boo86 linked to) on my old GT avalanche that withstood 5 years of battering with zero maintenance, and still feels decent. It was never buttery, but for such a cheap fork I was impressed.
