The Switchback was DMR's trail frame - over a pound lighter than the Trailstar and constructed form Reynolds 520 steel for a lovely, forgiving ride.

This bike is in good overall condition - the frame has no dents or cracks and the paintwork is pretty good, but has been touched up in a few places. The forks are in very good condition - freshly serviced and working exactly as they should. New chain and rear derailleur. The rest of the group set is in decent condition and runs smoothly. Brakes work well with a nice, firm feel at the levers. Wheels are both true with no loose or broken spokes. The rear hub is a bit noisy, but runs fine. Tyres are in good condition with plenty of tread.

This is a lovely little bike that just doesn't get used as much as it should so is looking for a new home. Collection only please - I'm 10 minutes off the M4 junction 15 (near Swindon).

£300 ono.
