2011 Trek Fuel EX. Must Sell! Size Medium.

I have for sale my 2011 Trek Fuel ex-8. I purchased this bike a less than a year ago from a bike shop mechanic. The bike has 5 inches (120m) of travel front and rear, perfect for Dupont, Bent Creek, Pisgah, etc. The Fox Float DRCV rear suspension on this thing is phenomenal and is, in fact, the reason I bought the bike. This is a used bike, but I spend much more time on my Ellsworth. She has been well cared for and remains in great condition. It has never spent a night outside and has been ridden relatively little. I am about to start med school and my wife thinks one steed is plenty, so I am selling the bike I ride the least to fund our move.

The following 4 changes have been made from the stock form, the pictures below do not reflect these upgrades:
Upgraded the rear derailleur and shifter to SRAM X9 10 speed.
Upgraded to a carbon fiber Answer Protaper handlebar.
Blue Richey silicone grips.
The chain has recently been replaced (not even sure it needed it) and the rear shifter housing was replaced when the rear derailleur/shifter was upgraded.

I knew I would be forced to sell this bike eventually, so pains were taken to preserve the paint and finish. I installed the protector on the downtube to prevent dings to the lightweight frame from flying rocks. It is, however, easily removable if you decide you want to risk it.

If you shop around you will see that this is a very reasonable price, but offers will be entertained. Feel free to ask, the worst I can say is no.
Thank you for your interest, please let me know if you have any questions.
