2014 Whyte 905

For Sale is my 2014 Whyte 905 with additional upgraded components. I had purchased this bike directly from Rockin Bikes myself brand new, and has been serviced regularly over my period of ownership. We are a family of cyclists, and the bike has been washed at least after every-other ride with Muc-Off products and lubricated with quality oils and grease. I am selling this bike as I am moving back to Full Suspension and racing after a period of riding Hardtails for the past 5 years.

A review of the bike at the time of manufacture can be found here:

This bike will be perfect for anyone looking to have a Hardtail for riding in the winter to conserve their more expensive Carbon framed bikes, for anyone looking to get started in mountain biking and want an excellent bike to do so, or for someone who wants to go back-to-basics (as I did) and return to a hardtail to re-learn essential skills.

This bike is a "hardcore" hardtail and is designed to be ridden as such. With a slack head angle and moderate seat angle - this bike is designed to be ridden Downhill as fast as possible - and to climb gently back to the top. This bike is more than capable of handling trails at the Forest of Dean, Gawton, Tavi Woods and any trail on Dartmoor. Infact, in the right hands, you'll keep pace with less experienced riders on Full-Suss bikes.

If I had more room in the garage I'd love to retain the bike, however, with limited room I must sell.

Please bear in mind that this bike is 4 years old, and will have the odd marks here and there from cable rubs or paint chips. However, the fork stanchions are immaculate and free from scratches/dents/chips and are welcome to be inspected. This is due to the heavy duty Mudhugger FR Mudguard, which I highly recommend (not included in sale).
