Jul 5, 2024Nukeproof Mega Custom Build
$400 GBP2012 Nukeproof Mega, custom built from the frame up with great parts.
Despite its age it's an amazing bike that pedals really well up hill and descends like a beast! It was designed for the Mega Avalanche after all!
It's always been stored inside and well looked after, although there are obviously a few scuffs and scrapes.
The pivot bearings were changed a few years ago and the bike has barely been used since. The shock works flawlessly too. Headset and BB are smooth and the hubs spin nicely.
I got a gravel bike in 2018 and this must have only been used around 5 or 6 times since, as such it time to find it a new home.

As noted above, it's in generally great condition but there are some bits that need a bit of TLC:
-Dropper post needs serviced. Seals are good but it has a few mm of sag. Still goes up and down.
-Tiny 2-3mm ding in downtube. Filled and smoothed with epoxy putty (covered by decal).
-Rear brake needs bled but still works.
-Lower stem steerer bolt has a rounded head (still tight so bike is 100% rideable).
-Forks are due a lower service but are still fully functional and super plush. All adjustments work as they should and the stanchions are in excellent condition too.
Other parts not fitted but included:
-Fizik Gobi XM Wing Flex Saddle.
-Schwalbe Magic Mary 26 x 2.35 Evo TLE 3 (used but lots of life left).
-New in box SRAM 10spd chain.
-New in box Rockbros flat pedals
-SDG Lock On Grips (used but still good).
-New UberBike finned brake pads for rear (already fitted to front).
-New Hub Doctor bearings for rear hub.
-Various Mavic hub adapters.
-Some Stan's tubeless sealant.
Also, if I can find these I'll throw them in too:
-Lyrik fork decals
-Reverb Bleed Kit
Looking for £400, which I think fairly reflects its age and the fact it needs a few things done to return it to its former glory.
Collection only from Aberdeen City centre.
