A couple of years ago I decided to try and get back into DH. I purchased this bike thinking a nice new ride would spur me into action, unfortunately I'm just not as interested as I thought and so I've decided after a good long think this steed would be better suited at a loving and caring home! It's a fully standard 2015 model (8.1 spec I believe), the only upgrade I bothered with are the pedals, which are nuke proof. The bike has hardly been ridden, it's been well looked after - stored indoors it's entire life, no signs of rust etc. There are a couple of very minor surface marks present, mainly from transportation. It's had the chain guard fitted since day one and the under frame protective sticker also present so the condition is very good considering it's a couple of years old. Frame size is Large - I'm 6ft5" and this suits me perfectly. Probably a bike best suited for tall riders!!! I've owned the bike since new, and have all of the paperwork to prove this. If you want to arrange a viewing it's located in Heaton in Newcastle upon Tyne. Current picture included from Facebook - I'll get up to date ones later or if you want any detailed pics messaging, please let me know. More pictures available on request! ***Product description*** (Taken from website purchased from) Good luck finding a better high-performance downhill bike than this value-packed rig.

I've recently acquired this bike through a trade, but I'm looking for something more slope style. It's a very nice bike and pretty light as well. I believe the set up is as standard, apart from a recent crank & bottom bracket upgrade. It's been well looked after, the tyres still have reasonable tread left but the bike will come with a spare pair anyway. Any questions, feel free to ask.

For sale is a bike I bought 2nd hand on here, which was custom built and maintained well. It's not seen much use since I've bought it and so has to go.

Any questions please ask, thanks
