Enve M70 on DT Swiss 240s hubs
$400 GBPFor sale are my ENVE M70 carbon wheels, before you get too excited at the price, have a read on.
THE GOOD
Set of Enve M70 carbon wheels, built with bladed spokes onto DT swiss 240 S (non boost hubs) 100x15 front 142x12 rear spacing. Recently trued and running well. Apparently cost £2200 to build, they are in generally good rideable condition with only surface marks as can be seen from the pics.
THE BAD
The person I bought them off neglected to tell me a about a 'delamination bubble' in the front rim, in fact he didn't want to tell me so much that he purposely hid it under one of the (huge) rim stickers so it only got noticed after buying them, and you guessed it, he wasn't interested, cock. I've spoke to ENVE and here's there take on it:
"The likely cause of that bubble is from exposure to heat, a car exhaust for example. If a rim is exposed to excessive heat for a long period of time, the resin can expand and bubble like what we're looking at here. It's unfortunate that the bubble was under the decal because that certainly covers it up to make it much less noticeable."
"You're going to be fine to ride the wheel, as the damage does look to be just under the first layer of material. Does the spoke hole closest to the bubble look to be totally perfect?"
(spoke hole is fine)
I've attached a couple of screen grabs from the email conversation. Looking round the rims as well there's also a non bladed spoke in the rear wheel (next to the valve) and one spoke which has a slight bend to it on the nipple end.
So there you have it, set of enve M70's with one less garish orange sticker hiding the truth. I've tried to be as open an honest about them as possible, plenty of pics so have a look through them.
Ideally its cash on collection so you can see what your buying, but I can post if you'd like.

Nicolai Geometron G19 29er World Cup downhill frame
$1100 GBPNicolai Geometron G19 (frame only) 27.5/29er DH
This is a world cup downhill frame and has only been used for 3 weeks, including being raced at this years Fort William World Cup. As you can see it still has its world cup livery/frame protection on it, and will come with a rock guard carbon downtube guard.
Originally designed around a 27.5" wheelset, the frame has very long (452mm) chainstays, and as you can see from the last few photos on the listing, it will take a 29er rear wheel. I've included a picture on full bump without the spring on the damper and as you can see there is ample clearance. In this configuration, the frame (in the X low setting) will have a BB height of 352mm which is -18mm (on par with commencals supreme29er DH).
This is a large/longest size, and has a reach of 476mm (like an XL), you can find the geometry of the frame here: http://geometron.mojo.co.uk/G19Geometry.html
No shock included (requires a 240x76mm), or can combine with the DVO Jade that I have for sale.
Cash on collection fine or can post insured.
