Zerode Katipo XL 505 Frame **WANTED/SWAP**
$7000 GBP**WANTED / OR TO SWAP** Looking for a late preferably belt drive model Zerode Katipo 505 XL. Frame only or would consider complete bike.
Would also be prepared to straight swap my 2023 model frame (Imported January 2023) Katipo 475 L. Invisiframed and totally unmarked, for an XL frame in similar condition.
Purchased as an ORIGIN build (frame, shock and 9 speed gearbox) Built to a custom specification not offered by Zerode. Unfortunately it’s just too small for me.
Not really looking to sell this bike complete as it cost almost £10k to build but anyone seriously intent on purchasing one without the additional customs charges and shipping fees then drop me a pm or call to discuss. (Currently set up for a 95kg rider but the original/unused Fox X2 air shock is also available)

The Oceanian Bike Project: Bamboo Handlebars, Gearbox Frames, & More
@bonfire: you make a couple of valid points, if the belt breaks it’s game over and a walk home, however it’s also not uncommon to come across a rider with a broken chain and no idea, tools, or split link to fix it. Nothing is infallible, break or hole a gearbox and pinion will rebuild it with a 5 year guarantee regardless of its age and mileage. Shift cables are £4 each, available in most bike shops and take minutes to fit. Can’t comment on parts availability but so far communication with Hugo at Zerode eu has been great. Also not sure on how many Katipo/Taniwha bikes have been built or sold but they never appear to hit the second hand market, only 2 in the last 9 months on pb and eBay (U.K./EU) which would suggest owners are happy to hang on to them.

Enve M70 wheelset. Chris King iso hubs.
$750 GBPEnve M70 30mm carbon wheelset. Carbon 30mm rims, spinning true with a few light scuffs but no dings. Chris King iso 32 hole 6 bolt hubs 12x142 rear and a choice of 15x100 or 20x110 non boost front axle. All bearings are clean and smooth running. SRAM xd driver is spotless in mint condition. Flat bladed spokes. Maxxis tyres included if required, less than 50% wear. Converted to tubeless.
Quite a regretful sale and also a substantial financial loss but now down to one 650b bike now so they have to go.
Ps check out Pinner Machine shops Boost conversion kits for Chris King hubs.
