Boot hill is my favorite too. Definitely one to finish the day with as it goes so much further down the hill. There are free printed trail maps which have most of the tracks on. Stop at the rally themed restuarant in San romolo for great pasta, coffee and cakes and pick one up.

Dec 9, 2019Commencal Meta AM V4 XL
$700 GBPGood condition XL Meta frame, no dings or cracks and bearings are fine. Some paint damage as expected but it's only ever been ridden in the Surrey Hills so quite soft ground and very few rocks. Monarch rear shock which had some wear to the black finish after a service over a year ago and it hasn't got worse since with no air leaking from it. Pike RCs in good condition and come with tokens. Spec is:
10 speed with Zee shifter and mech, will have a nearly new chain/cassette/chainring put on.
Cube CSW wheels which are rebranded DT E1900's true with a small bit of play from front wheel but bearings feel good so think it's coming from the spacers.
Sram Guide Rs with brand new pads.
Good condition Michelin/WTB tyres.
Renthal stem and Nukeproof bars.
150mm Reverb which has a small amount of sag in initial part - as per all reverbs. Will bleed before sale.
Wheels mfg BB loctited in recently so bearings in great shape.
Cane Creek headset recently fitted.
This has been well used over a few years but has been maintained well and is good as a winter bike. Pick up North London or maybe Surrey.
NO PEDALS INCLUDED

Take the train to the Italian side and ride up in the Argentina Valley - start at Molini and ask anyone in the bar for information. Loads of trails there - some of the photos are of a trail above Molini that goes over the French border towards the Roya valley.

Apr 8, 2018Specialized Enduro 26" carbon Large
$875 GBPWell used but good condition Specialized enduro from 2011. Red paint job that was for the Australian market apparently. Size large (19") for someone around 6'.
Frame - Carbon front triangle, Alu rear. 160mm travel. Fox Float RP23 that was sent to Mojo for service, they replaced the original stanchion for Kashima, replaced the barrel and all seals. Total cost of the service was £300. I asked for it to have more support put in the midstroke so it is quite firm. Compression lever does not affect it much if at all as Mojo usually disable these when they tune the shock. Good condition no wear to stanchion. Scratches to paint but no dings.
Fork - Marzocchi 55 RC3 Evo 2 Ti. 170mm travel. Great fork with only a few months proper use. One of the most supple forks I've used. Scratches to paint but stanchions fine.
Stan's Flow EX on Hope SP3 straight pull hubs. New front rim recently. Michelin/WTB heavy casing tubeless ready tyres.
Zee rear mech 10spd
Saint shifter
XT cranks 175mm
SLX brakes 200mm front, 180mm rear
Havoc carbon 740mm bars
Commencal stem
Reverb post 125mm wear to hose in one place and slight drop in first few mm will bleed before sale
Bearings all good, new lower headset bearing, spare hanger, spokes, linkage plates.
Used in Italy for a total of about 3 months over several years so rarely got wet and certainly not done any British winters. Looks a little scruffy but mechanically good. In the process of getting it built up so proper photos this week.
Pick up N London.
