Just picked up a new bike and need to sell my Trek to offset costs. You don't make enough money in a shop to keep more then one nice ride.

FRAME:
2015 18.5" Trek Fuel EX 9.8 27.5 with the DCRV/Re:Aktiv shock and 120mm of travel. Front triangle and seat-stays are carbon fiber. Frame has a tapered headtube and a 144 x 12mm through-axle. The shock really gives the bike a bottomless feel and is plusher then the DW-Link Ibis I'm replacing it with. Frame was warrantied late last year and came with all new pivot bearings from the factory. Everything is tight and the shock was rebuilt at the time of warranty.

If you're curious, the last frame's main pivot's axle sleeve unbonded from the frame and was ripping the the front triangle apart from the inside. Trek took care of everything super fast and I have had zero issues since then. Bike has probably been ridden ~18 times since warranty replacement.

See photos for tire and cable rub. Note the photo of the NDS seatstay rub please, it's by far the worst of it.

FORK:
2017 FOX Float 32 CTD FiT with 120mm travel

WHEELSET/TIRES:
IBIS 738 wheelset. Super wide alloy rims and decent hubs. Very stiff and stable. One of the better upgrades I made. Rims have a 34mm internal width and are asymmetric. Guessing I have ~18 rides on them? Great shape. (http://store.ibiscycles.com/ibis-738-aluminum-wheelset-100142-p324.aspx)
Tires are Schwalbe Nobby Nics, 2.25 and in great shape. Currently set up tubeless.

DROPPER:
Rockshox Reverb. Works perfectly and predictably.

DRIVETRAIN:
Shimano XT 10speed group; 30t - 11/48. I converted the drivetrain over to a 1X with a bunch of Wolftooth parts. Shifts okay.

BRAKES:
Shimano XT and 180/160 rotor combo.

BAR/STEM: Bontrager Carbon handlebar 720mm. Bontrager 70mm stem

Geometry:

Bike is a 18.5" and the frame has less then 18 rides on it. It's a great bike for a great price!

Interested? Get at me! It's a great bike but I'm moving to a 29er.
