Apr 21, 2017Merida One-Sixty 7.700
$400 GBP2015 medium size Merida One Sixty frame. 160mm suspension for trail, all-mountain or enduro use. Used condition, but well looked after. All bearings and pivots are in good condition. Frame comes with the Rockshox Monarch Debonaire RC3 Plus shock, which is immaculate and with no marks on the shaft. There are the usual marks from use of a bike frame like this, in particular heel rub on the chainstays and a cable rub under the bottom bracket. There are no dents and the frame is structurally sound.
The frame comes with a 2 month old fully working Hope headset, Merida seat-post clamp and original Formula 142mm bolt through rear axle. Comes with the internally routed 125mm Rockshox Reverb dropper, which is fully working.
Full spec of the frame can be found here... http://www.merida-bikes.com/en_int/bikes/full-suspension/enduro/2015/one-sixty-7-700-2088.html
Postage is an additional £20 as i am based in the Isle of Man.
Thanks for looking.

Neck Braces - Should You Be Wearing One?
Have one, but doesn't work with a trail lid - so it sits on the shelf

Sep 3, 2015Giant Trance 27.5 Spec 2 - Brake Upgrade & 1x10
$950 GBP2014 Giant Trance 27.5 (650b) Spec 2 (upgraded brakes to SLX) for sale - £950 (£990 Posted)
Full spec listed below.
Frame size is medium, I am 5'9" and it suits me perfectly.
This bike has been well looked after and serviced regularly since purchased from new.
It was heli-taped from new, and had a carbon downtube protector, and as such has very few marks on the frame. There is a picture of the down tube, and as you can see, it is immaculate. There is a small amount of cable rub on the top of the fork crown, pivot (from a dropper post) and underside of the bottom-bracket as pictured, but none that you typically get around the head tube due to heli-taping. Due to use of frame protection and the 'clutch' rear mech, there are no chain slap marks on the frame.
The shocks have been regularly serviced and perform perfectly. There are no marks to the fork stantions, or rear shock. Both the Fox forks and Fox shock have climb, trail and descend settings, pre-load (air) and rebound adjustment. All of the frame bushings, pivots and bearings are fully working with no play.
The tubeless ready rims have been converted, with the the official Giant tubeless rim strip specific to the rims installed. The bike will come supplied with two tubeless valves meaning the bike can be easily set up tubeless again. It is currently fitted with 2 brand new Continental tubes. The tyres on the bike were taken off shortly after purchase and are near enough new, and the wheels run straight and true.
The bike has been used for XC and Trail type outings since purchased. It has a brand new cassette on the rear and has had a new chain every 3 months. It is set up as a 1 x 10 set up with a 32 tooth Rideworks narrow-wide chainring which has never dropped a chain. The front derailleur mount has a Rideworks cover keeping the direct mount tidy and clean.
The SLX cranks were heli-taped too, and so are in great condition along their length, but naturally have marks on in the area of the end of the crank.
The brakes have been upgraded from the standard Shimano M446 to Shimano SLX.
Please note that this bike does NOT come with pedals, and the grips pictured will be replaced with brand new Funn lock on grips black in colour.
