Feb 20, 2012Transition Bottlerocket Medium *REDUCED*
$1249 GBPI'm reluctantly selling my lovely Bottlerocket... I bought it last year to take to the Alps, and have honestly only used it for 5 days whilst on holiday!! It's been sitting in my garage ever since and I never seem to get time to use it, so have decided that I can't really justify owning it, even though I love it to bits!
I've given it a complete service and have had new bearings and bushings put in the frame in the process so it's riding really nice.
The forks were brand new right before I went to France, so they've only had 5 days worth of use!
Frame: '09 Transition Bottlerocket, Black - Medium
Shock: Fox DHX 5 Air - 140mm
Forks: Rockshox Lyrik Coil U-Turn 1.5" 115m - 160mm
Wheelset: Halo FreedomDisc
Stem: Sunline V1 1.5"
Headset: FSA Big Fat Pig 1.5"
Bars: NukeProof Warhead 760mm
Brakes: Shimano XT
Cranks/BB: Saint
Chain Device: Superstar
Tyres: Conti Rain Kings 2.5" (a bit worn but still v ridable)
I've got about 3 spare mech hangers that I'll throw in as well, always handy to have.
Everything is in v good working order, and has been very well looked after. The frame is a little scuffed on the top tube from my muddy thighs on a v wet day at Les Gets in the summer (first day of use! , and there's a few standard gravel chips here and there. It really is only cosmetic but might give the impression that it's been ridden a lot more than it actually has!
I got it from someone in London who had it built as a street bike and had barely ridden it at all, it was practically brand new with no crank rub or anything when I got it, so I'm almost certain that I'm the only person who's ever ridden it properly!
Will be really sad to see her go, but I can't really justify it at the moment : (
Think I've covered most, but have no doubt left something vital out... Any Q's please ask!
Cheers!
