853 Niner SIR-9 Steel Hardtail 29er- XTR, Fox Float, Avid, E

Up for grabs, a very nice Niner SIR-9 853 Reynolds steel hardtail 29er. Bike is 26 lbs w/ pedals (pedals not included).

Price is $1500 firm plus shipping, handling and fees (more below).

17" seat tube (c-t) and 23" (c-c) top tube means its a large medium, or medium large. I'm 6' and it feels great. Low geometry means good standover for all.

Lightly ridden, this was mostly a project/backup bike/experiment into the realm of big wheels for a fire-road commute I thought I was going to have ... While I really love this bike, I got a deal on a 26-all mtn bike which is my main bike now, so thinning the herd.
