Nov 11, 2018Camelback MULE Lowrider in Red. Used twice
$55 GBPPics to follow. Having trouble with uploader
Price is firm as the fiver is for postage and paypal costs wouldnt you agree? Yes! Do you need this? Yes! And then you can hide it from the missus, worst comes to the worst you got it for £55 posted so she wont be too hard on you.
Bags in great condition used twice on 2 10 mile rides just checking gear out. The gear is great love the low ride system. It feels secure and comfortable. Ive had a few bags over the years and this is nice for an all day bag.
Bag contains a camelback tool wrap and also a wet weather cover in yellow which helps rescue teams as it’s easily spotted, the reason I picked the red bag was because I planned on doing some very remote riding and the colour Red also sticks out better for rescue teams to spot.
There’s plenty pouches, some soft liner ones for phones etc.
Grab a bargain! Also if you need other gear ask and see whats left.
Im only selling as im giving biking up all together.

Oct 23, 2018Vitus Escarpe VR
$1400 GBPI Paid £1849.99 in May. It’s a Medium. This years equivalent model is £1999
Fistly I’m not a bike snob, I go for bang for buck. Vitus are made by the same people as nukeproof. This bike is built to be ridden hard, if you are a poser and want to trundle along on the latest bike money can buy then this isn’t for you. I can tell you this though, the bike is very well made, yes it might have slx components but big deal. The boost axle size allowing boos wheels to be ridden kinda makes it 2 bikes in 1.
For the short time i rode it I was amazed at how well it climbed. How steady it was going slow on the steep stuff. The dropper is about 150mm which is huge, this is the sort of bike that makes you want to ride it like an animal. Not for snobs but built regular guys who want to get a bit mental.
