Niner Jet 9 Carbon, Medium, New Frame and Custom Build

**I had this bike for sale in the spring for $3600. I'm reducing the price by $900! I think $2700 for a shiny, custom build, almost all new, beautiful and well spec'd Niner Jet 9 Carbon is a great price. It cost me more than that to put it together in the spring and was only lightly ridden once, just to test it out after it was built. You can't put that same bike together for anywhere near that price. Great value, and it's also a great bike.**

New Niner Jet 9 Carbon frame with full new custom build.

I just had this bike professionally built in the spring, but while it was being put together I got the double whammy of a thrown out back, and we decided to move out of state this summer. So since I haven't been able to ride it at all, and since moving costs money...as much as I love the look, geometry, and build of this bike, I've made my peace with selling it.

This beauty is up for grabs.

And when I say beauty, I mean the bike is...stunning. The 2 times I've had it behind my car to bring it to the bike shop and one time to the test ride have elicited numerous compliments. Never had compliments like this in the years with my other mountain bikes. Photos of Jet 9 Carbons never do them justice, but they especially don't in this color scheme. So I'll enclose photos from different angles.

But this is not just another pretty face. Niner claims that the frame was designed for strength and function first, and just happens to look great. This one is spec'd out nicely and is ready to ride.

I took it out for one very basic test ride. My back issues wouldn't let me go even close to full out, but it felt great on an old railroad bed and on fire roads. I love the geometry. It will be great on single track and a wide variety of terrain. Just read any of the reviews of this bike.

The frame is a new, fresh out of the box, 2015/16 Niner Jet 9 Carbon. This model updated to a 142x12mm rear axle, a Rockshox Monarch RT rear shock, and an alloy rear triangle, over the year before. I spoke with someone at Niner who told me that by this model year they had gotten all the weaknesses out of the frame, so it won't be prone to any fracturing as some earlier Jet 9 Carbons were. It's a stout frame that's meant to be pushed hard and raced, if you want.

Niner recommends size Medium of this bike for people 5'8" to 6'0"

The frame and many of the components are brand new. Other components have only between 20 to not more than 190 (lightly ridden by me) miles on them, except the XO shifters which work flawlessly but I don't know how many miles they've seen.

Here's the full build:

NEW STUFF
-Niner Jet 9 Carbon frame, size Medium, with tapered head tube, 142x12mm rear axle and Rockshox Monach RT 100mm rear shock
-Niner headset with YAWYD top (lipped headset top that allows for any beer/soda bottle cap to cap the headset)
-Chris King PF30 bottom bracket
-SRAM/Truvativ X9 Crankset w/ 22/36 chainrings
-SRAM X9 Front Derailleur
-SRAM PC-1051 Chain
-Spank Spoon pedals
-Chromag Basis Grips
-Hayes Brake Cable
-Jagwire Lex-SL shifter cables and Neon green/yellow shifter and dropper post housing
-Cat Eye Water Bottle Cage

COMPONENTS WITH 20-40 MILES
-Specialized Command Post Dropper Post
-Truvative 75mm stem

COMPONENTS WITH NOT MORE THAN 190 MILES
-120mm Rockshox Revelation RL Fork
-Sun-Ringle Charger Comp wheels and hubs
-Ardent Maxxis 2.4 tires, front and rear, set-up as tubeless with new Stan's sealant
-Hayes Prime Comp brakes system, recently bled - 180mm front/160mm rear rotors
-SRAM X9 Mid-Cage Rear Derailleur
-SRAM PG-1050 11-36 Cassette
-Truvative Stylo T-30 Handlebars
-Selle San Marco Ponza Era Saddle

UNKNOWN MILES (works perfectly)
-SRAM XO Trigger Shifters

And to give you an idea of the value of this bike: The one spec'd in the above linked review lists at $4800. Many of the components are spec'd at about the same level (though SRAM and HAYES instead of Shimano) but this one comes with a better and more trail capable fork, a dropper post (and not a cheapy), a significantly better bottom bracket, better shifters, better lock-on grips, bigger tires, includes pedals (good, grippy ones), custom shifter and dropper post cable housing, and a water bottle cage. Only the handlebars are better (slightly lighter - carbon) in the reviewed bike's build. But the SRAM components on this bike cost more than the equivalent Shimano ones. So if this bike was built new like this and sold in a bike shop, it would have been, what, - well over $5000? The frame and many parts are new, and the parts that aren't new only have 20 to under 190 easy miles on them. That's basically demo-type miles (barely) on those parts, and the rest of the bike is all new, and professionally built. It looks, feels, and rides like an all new bike. This is a very good bike for a very good price.

The working condition of all these components = perfect. They all look perfect too, with a few extremely minor exceptions: The SRAM X9 rear derailleur has a few scratches (a black sharpie marked then lightly rubbed over with a cloth will cover them nicely), The seat has a tiny tear on the left underside crease directly under the front white triangle pattern and is repaired with a little glue, there's a little spot of white accent paint that has chipped off on the handlebar where it meets the left side of the stem, there is normal minor cable rub on the fork which I once covered with the black Sharpie trick and can't even notice it now, and the paint on the part of the XO shifters that says "10 Speed" and "2 Speed" is fading off a bit though that part of the shifters are covered by the brake levers and cables and wouldn't be seen by anyone. These are all very minor, but they are there if you pull out your magnifying glass to look for imperfections. Really though, it's a beautiful, completely new looking and new riding bike.|

Come by and see it in person if you can. I'm in the U.P. of Michigan, a mile over the border from Hurley, Wisconsin. We're moving to Ashland/Marengo Wisconsin soon and can show the bike there also.You will not be disappointed. I'm also willing to pack it well and send it anywhere in the US. Should cost less than $110 to almost anywhere in the lower 48, insured for $3000. Less if you're not far away from 49938 or 54806. Call or text me at (nine zero six) 364-3610, or send me a message. I'm happy to answer questions.

BTW, I've had a number of trade offers so I'll clarify: I might be interested in a *partial* trade. Like, say up to 1/3 of the value of my bike in a trade and 2/3s in cash.
