2017 Trek Farley EX 9.8, fully overhauled, carbon wheels

Trek Farley EX 9.8, Fully Overhauled, Carbon Wheels

Trek Sizing: Large: 5'9" - 6'2" (175 - 187 cm)

No trades. Cash or Interact transfer only. I am going to try to sell the bike locally for a few weeks. After that, I could ship within Canada at the buyer’s expense.

The Good:
The Bike! The bike is phenomenal. Extremely fun. Rolls over anything. I am a 50yr old ‘Wheels on the ground’ XC rider… except on this bike. It has insane amounts of traction and sticks any landing. “Drive it like you stole it” is truly the way to operate this monster truck. The safest and most fun MTB on the planet, says I. A four season bike. Upgraded Manitou fork. Bike was completely overhauled - a $1400 overhaul in 2023 (see list below). Only ridden three times after the overhaul. Lots of new parts. Not ridden in winter. Bike is ready to ride.

The Bad:
The previous owner. He cracked the frame (and covered it up when he sold it to me). However, Carbon Works, in Oakville, ON, did an Electrical NDT Test and thermal imaging magnification of the entire bike and handlebar. There was one crack in the frame, on the bottom side of the downtube, by the bottom bracket (see photos). Carbon Works did the repair - which they guarantee for life. It's fair to say that that area is way more solid than ever before.

The Ugly:
My financial loss. I am only selling ‘my forever bike’ because I have an injury that will prevent me from mountain biking again.
