2012 Saracen Myst Pro (Large)

I am selling my newly purchased Saracen Myst Pro (Large, 2012 model). I have recently broken my foot badly, and having been told extreme sports are to be avoided for over a year I plan on selling my bikes and buying something new in the future.

The bike is in great condition and only shows a few cosmetic signs of use, it has been ridden on around 8-10 occasions and has been carefully cleaned and maintained after each use. The Myst really is a fantastic ride, it feels solid and is confidence inspiring, at this price point there really is little competition for a DH bike. The build is as standard, it represents sensible and durable parts that are more than up to the task of Downhill / Freeride use.

This bike is a 'large' frame, suitable for riders from around 5'10" and upwards. I am 6'6" and weigh around 82kg, it is not too short for me and would most definitely take a much heavier rider.

In terms of signs of use there are some cosmetic points. Please do not be put off by these, I am being honest and describing everything, if you were to view the bike in person you would appreciate that it has been looked after and remains in great condition.
Frame: slight rub on top tube from shorts whilst riding (barely visible). Head tube is protected by bike tape and has been since new. Driveside chainstays protected by inner tube from new, visible in photos.
Crankset: black finish worn from rubbing shoes, visible in photos.
Brakes: there are a few small chips to the white paint on the levers and rear calliper (see photos)
Rims: some small cosmetic paint chips, but no dents (please see photo)

Also included in this sale
-Regular fork spring (70-80kg rider)
- 2 spare pairs of brake pads (rrp £15 a pair)

This bike is in good condition, and it rides great. Please get in contact if you are interested, happy to discuss over private messages or over the phone.

I am based near Nottingham, I would welcome a viewing at a weekend. I would prefer the buyer to collect the bike, paying cash on collection - of course I am open to suggestions of alternative means of transacting.

Thanks
