Only selling due to being more bike than I need and is put to waste in the riding that I do. As such I am looking to sell or possibly swap for the right FS or hardtail XC bike. Great condition Canyon Strive ES 8 2012 in size Medium. Plenty of scuffs on the frame from transport and use but no dents or cracks. New stainless steel front wheel bearings New stainless steel rear wheel and freehub bearings New stainless steel headset bearings Nearly new drivetrain Nearly new brakes Not much use since new pivot bearings Not much use since fork service Not much use since shock service Fox 36 160mm 160-120mm TALAS FiT RLC Tapered steerer forks little use since service. Lockout, travel adjust, low speed compression, Lockout hardness, rebound, air spring etc. Super plush. Fox Performance Series Float RP2 Boostvalve little use since service - 160mm rear travel. There's a handy travel indicator built into the frame which makes setting sag and seeing how much travel you've blown through on your ride a breeze!

I WILL ACCEPT 500GBP IF PAYMENT IS MADE THIS WEEKEND! A SERIOUS BARGAIN. This is a 2006 Norco A-Line frame in what I think is Medium size (fits me at 5'10"). Good condition but does have wear marks. All bearings smooth. Forks are 2006 Marzocchi 888 RC2X, which I reckon is the best year they made! They have been TF tuned. Shock is Fox DHX 3.0 and still feels lovely. It has been TF Tuned aswell. Front and rear brakes are Hope M4's with 180+160mm floating rotors respectively. Rear rim is a Sun MTX on a Hope Bulb hub, front is Sun S-Type laced to a Generic Hub. Hope Bottom Bracket which has been serviced recently, cleaned and regreased bearings. Shimano Saint Cranks with E-13 Bashguard. Oldskool Deore XT Derailleur, 9 speed and has never let me down. Indexes beautifully. Shimano 9 speed cassette. FSA Orbit MX headset. Easton Vice Stem. Oldskool bars, again, never let me down. ODI Lock on grips, bit worn but still sticky. Tyres are Maxxis Minion with low tread but still grips well. Innertubes are Slime tubes. Worth mentioning that over the past 12 months I have spent over 800GBP on this bike and I am pricing it to sell. Not only that but this bike has rarely even seen any dirt let alone been used for downhill/freeride. It is also kept indoors so isn't exposed to the elements very often either! The only bad bits are there is 2 stripped screws on the forks, they've been like that for a while but I've had no issues at all. Forks have a frankly half arsed rattle can paint job but underneath the ONE layer of paint is completely bare metal due to having stripped them by hand and polishing them. When polished, they shine like a mirror! Brakes have a couple of stripped threads as well but are secured with a nut on the end so nothing to worry about. This is an awesome bike and I will be happy to keep it if there's no interest, however I am trying to fund a 125cc bike, hence why I am open to swaps. Not willing to post but can travel by train at buyers cost. Located in Berkshire. Send me your offers and swaps, at worst I can only say no!
