The bike has light wear but has been looked after and loved.
It is a good metallic blue shade and will make someone a fine trail bike.
I'm in Gloucestershire and am happy to meet buyers halfway up to a reasonable point, I want a cash transaction.

First Look: Lal Bikes' Supre Drivetrain Splits The Derailleur In Half Before It Happens On the Trail
@Svinyard: I'd be interested to see what Shimano and SRAM make selling new derailleurs for new bikes as opposed to replacing broken derailleurs. You might be different to me, but I have broken or worn out maybe two or three in thirty years of riding.
But I have bought loads of new bikes and upgraded my transmission to have one more gear many times.

Pinkbike Poll: What Discipline is Your Favourite to Watch?
Why is there no option for watching Sarah Moore ride a value bike up the impossible climb?
It was more joyful to watch than a bucket of kittens.

First Look: SRAM Releases GX Eagle AXS Wireless Electronic Drivetrain
I have the rocker paddle on my AXS setup, and whilst it is a better shape than the original paddle, the whole setup is not as ergonomic as SRAM cable shifters. The tactile feedback is poor and it can be difficult to feel any kind of click or feedback on a downshift, meaning you can end up in the wrong gear at the wrong time. At the point your brain starts focusing on how to press your shift level you are going to miss lines then crash.
I think SRAM have created half a brilliant product. Brilliant shift, lousy levers. Maybe SRAM will produce a 2nd generation lever with a sensible feel. GX Eagle might be much less expensive, but until the ergonomics is fixed, spend your money elsewhere.

Eliot Jackson Signs With Santa Cruz
The way I had my browser window meant the headline read "Eliot Jackson Signs With Santa"
I figured Eliot Jackson was going to the north pole to dress up in green and make presents for all the good kids.
