Hi all, I recently bought all this for a trip to Iceland where we did some rafting/bikepacking around the glaciers. Had a great time, but now trying to recoup some costs, so a lot of the kit is upforsale...this has under 10hrs use and looks pretty much like new. Great raft, Made by Nortik, perfect size for bikepacking, rolls down small and will happily carry a full size bike. I did many miles in very cold water with zero issues. (It is a bit wet in the pics, those are water droplets - not marks/stains) There are some minor marks from storage/used but 100% no holes/leaks etc You get: -Nortik Trekraft with all the stuff that comes new, spare patches, repair kit etc -Inflation bag (Can blow up the raft in approx 2 mins) -Inflatible seat -Cut down lightweight paddle (will fit on a pannier rack/bar roll bag etc) -Rubber matting to protect raft from the bike -Heavy duty bungee/webbing/strapping for attaching the bike -Secumar life jacket Overall, this kit owes me around £570 - I'd be happy with £450 posted. It really is like new...perfect for exploring europe/scotland/beaches etc. Have a look at this report for a good idea of how capable these kind of rafts are: http://niksbikingblog.blogspot.co.uk/search?updated-min=2012-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&updated-max=2013-01-01T00:00:00-08:00&max-results=3

Hi, up forsale is a good condition Genesis IOID mountain bike, these are great bikes - you get a nice flexy steel hardtail frame, an alfine enclosed 8 speed hub, rockshox forks and lot's of pretty high end components, hubs/brakes are shimano, rims are dt-swiss, forks are rockshox recon with rebound control and lockout, it has aftermarket gusset pedals and ritchy bars fitted. Overall pretty good condition...there are the expected scratches but everything works well, front tyre is good, rear is getting low but fine for the summer, brake pads are 2 hrs old, so loads of life left, cables are all good, alfine shifts well, chain is lubed/tensioned, forks work and don't leak. There is a little "gritiness" in the headset bearings but no play. Overall a nice bike which is ready to ride. Good review here, these really are great bikes, this bike is the later 2012 onwards red frame version too! http://www.bikeradar.com/gear/category/bikes/mountain-bikes/product/review-genesis-bikes-io-id-08-30776/ PLUS: Also included are 2x schwalbe road tyres, a tow ball bike rack (will take 2 bikes) and the original bars...worth another £100!
