Oct 4, 2013Small Anthem X4 + Hope Hoops £650
$650 GBPAs per the title, it's a 2011 Giant Anthem X4, size [b]small[/b].
Standard giant wheels upgraded to ZTR Crest on Hope Pro II late last year. These have had very little use. [i]EASILY[/i] under 100miles. They're currently run with tubes, can be converted to tubeless with the stans tape.
Other than that, spec is:
Fork: Fox F100 RL-11, tapered steerer, 100mm travel
Shock: Fox Float R
Groupset: Deore, with Deore Brakes and SLX rear mech.
Giant finishing kit (handlebar, stem and seatpost) with Fi'zi:k Tundra 2 Manganese rails
Pedals: Shimano PD-M520
Tires: Ardent EXO 2.25 front, Aspen 2.1 rear - Both pretty much new (as with wheels, under 100miles)
There is a bit of heel rub on the chainset, other than that though, it's in damned good condition.
I replaced the headset on this a couple of months ago, and it hasn't been used since I did.
Will be boxed up and shipped to your door via parcelforce for the bargaintastic price of just £650.

Aug 11, 2013Bionicon Reed 140 - Medium - Custom
$1600 GBPI've decided that it's time to let the Reed go off to a new home where she will be loved and treated the way she deserves...... ridden hard like the filthy minx she is!
SIZE: MEDIUM
PRICE: £1,600 - open to (sensible) offers
Might split if there is enough interest in the parts. Frameset and wheels need to go first.
It might look to be a right beast, but as seen, it weighs 29lb.
Background: Bought direct from Bionicon UK in March of last year. She's a former (display) model, the only one of her kind in the UK with this factory custom paint job.
She got light use from May to September, when the winter bike came back out and she was serviced and put back in storage under a cover in the garage until May this year. By that point, I'd bought a roadie, which seems to have taken over from MTB. This year, she's been ridden.... twice, the last time being today. She's been well looked after though. Just had a full service, new bearings all round, new chain, cassette, saddle, tires and of course, fresh sealant to match.
I kept her this year because I kept telling myself I was going to get back on and use her properly. Sadly though, it's just not happened, and my test ride today has just confirmed this is simply not my bag anymore.
So..... here we are...
Spec:
Frame: Bionicon Reed 140 air
Forks: Bionicon Double Agent 80-160mm
Bars: Easton Haven
Stem: Bionicon Twin-lock
Headset: Bionicon F.I.T
Grips: Superstar Excel Blue with Red lockrings
Brakes: Avid Elixir CR X9 - Matchmaker
Shifters: SRAM X9 Matchmaker
Front Mech: Shimano SLX - Direct mount
Rear Mech: SRAM X9
Chain Device: Bionicon C-guide V.02
Seat: Charge Spoon
Seat Post: 2012 Reverb MMX
Seat Post Clamp: Superstar Balance bolt - Red
Cranks: Shimano XT with XT BB
Chainrings: Blackspire 26-38 and a hope 40t light bashring.
Chain: KMC X10sl
Cassette: SRAM PG-1070
Pedals: Wellgo MG1
Wheelset:
Front Hub: Superstar Switch Evo -Red - 15mm
Rear Hub: Superstar Trizoid DH Hub - Red - 142x12mm (syntace X12) fitting
Spokes: CX Ray
Nipples: SAPIM Sils - Red
Rims - Arch EX with stans yellow tape.
Front Tyre - Racing Ralph Gatestar Snakeskin TLR - Running proper tubeless
Rear Tyre - Racing Ralph Gatestar Snakeskin TLR - Running proper tubeless
EDIT:
It's worth noting that although she may LOOK to be a right beast. She weighs exactly 29lb as pictured (ie, including pedals etc).
Could EASILY get her down to around 27lb if you don't need the dropper, get some lighter pedals etc.
Also, if you're not already familiar with BIonicon and how they work, here is a helpful youtube video which demonstrates it quite nicely. It's all very clever stuff, but also dead simple. It's one of the easiest bikes I've ever serviced. Every part is user serviceable, requiring nothing more than a couple of hex keys (headset uses a cassette lockring remover).

Apr 22, 2012Wheelset - DT Swiss, Alexrims
$120 GBPTaken off my new Bionicon as I'm using my superstar wheels instead.
£120 Posted via parcelforce 48hr
Fittings are 15mm Front and X-12 (142x12) Rear.
They can be converted using the tool-free DT conversion kits though (by far the easiest conversions I've ever done)
Weight - 2,000g with tape fitted.
Rims are Alexrims SX44 doublewalls
DT 360 rear
DT 370 front (branded as Bionicon)
Wheels have only done a handful of XC rides, not jumped or crashed. Bearings are as new, perfectly true with no flat spots or dings. Couple of tiny marks on the paint in the rims that don't show up on camera.
Freehub is in good condition, cassettes still go on and off without sticking, burring is only very slight (as shown in close-up below).
Hubs are 6 bolt fitting and come with Schwalbe Blue tape fitted.
I can even throw in a spare DT Swiss freehub ratchet.
Nice strong wheelset at a reasonable weight.

Mar 5, 2012Bionicon Edison Frameset (Medium)
$400 GBP2010 Bionicon Edison Frameset. Not been ridden for the last 6 months or so as I broke my leg in Oct and had to have surgery to rebuild my knee.
I've just ordered a new Bionicon as a treat for myself after blitzing my rehab so this has got to go.
PRICE INCLUDES UK SHIPPING VIA PARCELFORCE 48HR.
Payment via Paypal. Either as gift, or with charges taken from YOUR end.

New bushes just fitted to shock. All bearings smooth and tight.
To include:
Frame (with shock)
Forks
Headset
Stem
Bars
standard QR dropouts Front and Rear
Comes with the upgraded damper cartridge fitted (£100 optional extra, bought new around 8 months ago)
Got to sell it all together as it all works as a single unit. The shock is connected to the forks via internally routed air-lines. Also connected to a bar-mounted "magic button" which allows the user to not only change the travel of the forks from 70-150mm (and everything inbetween) but also extends/retracts part of the shock to give a better position depending on if you're climbing or descending.
The rear travel actually remains constant, extendable part of the shock isn't part of the available travel, it is purely for changing the frame geo.
so when climbing the rear stays at 140mm but the seat angle is steeper meaning you are closer to the verticle line running through the bb and it feels easier to cycle up hill
clever thing about the travel change is that although the front drops from 150 to 70mm, the bottom bracket doesnt get any lower, it moves backwards instead and remains at the same height meaning you can carry on pedalling normally.
it is dead easy to do and can be done on the fly, weight the front, press the button and the front drops, unweight the front and pres the button and the fork extends. the trvel adjust takes about a second from min to max and is infinitely adjustable, no steps and best of all, no stopping to do it.
