Aug 28, 2016Gary Fisher Piranha
$250 GBPI'm looking to sell my Gary Fisher Piranha. It's in good condition and the chain, cassette and cables are all brand new. The brakes have also been recently bled so work very well. The wheels spin well and true but the freehub bearing is a bit rough. It has a fair few miles left in it though! There are a few other scratches on the forks and crankset but they are all purely cosmetic so don't affect the performance of the bike.
It's the perfect entry level mountain bike!
Here is the spec:
Frame: Gary Fisher Piranha Al 15.5"
Forks: Rockshox Tora 100mm Coil with preload and lockout
Crankset: Shimano
Rear mech: Sram X5
Front mech: Sram X5
Shifters : Sram X5
Wheels: Bontrager Ringer rims with Shimano hubs
Brakes: Shimano Hydraulic
Tyres: Continental SpeedKing or Bontrager
I'm looking for around £250 and as I travel the country quite a lot, I could meet for collection.
Thanks for looking!

Aug 28, 2016Cannondale Flash Carbon 2 lifetime warrenty
$350 GBPHi, I'm looking to sell my old race bike; a Cannondale Flash Carbon 2. It treated me really well for two seasons of racing before I grew out of it. It's a super quick and very light! The lefty fork is no longer included but the frame is fitted with a Fork Float RL100 which is still in good condition but has a bit of wear on the inside of the left stantion. Both the headset and bottom bracket bearings have been replaced but are a little rough due to its lack of use but they all have a lot of miles left in them! There are a few scratches on the frame with the worst being next to the bottom bracket where I've suffered chain suck. All the scratches are purely cosmetic though.
Included in the sale is:
Frame: Cannondale Flash Carbon 17.5"
Fork: Fox Float RL 100mm
Front Mech: Shimano SLX
Stem: Cannondale
Bars: Easton Ea50 Al (nice and wide)
Grips: ODI Ruffians
I am looking for around £400
I travel around the country quite a lot so there is a possibility that I could meet you for collection.
Thanks for looking,

Jul 10, 2014Specialized Hardrock Disc
$300 GBPHi, I'm looking to sell my friend's Specialized Hardrock Disc as she has got more into road biking.
It's a great bike and is still running very smoothly! It's done a few miles but nothing too strenuous so the Rockshox Darts and still very smooth and the wheel are very true.
There is the typical cycling scratches on the cranks and in a couple of other places but aren't anything to worry about.
Here's the spec:
Frame: Specialized Hardrock aluminium in M
Fork: Rockshox Dart coil sprung with Lockout and Rebound adjust
Brakes: Tektro Hydraulic Discs
Drivechain: Shimano throughout
Finishing kit and tyres: Specialized own-brand
It's a great bike especially for those looking for their first mountain bike!
If you're interested, could you text the number given above?
Thanks for looking!

Jun 23, 2014DT Swiss XRC 100mm LTD edition WC forks
$300 GBPHi, I am looking to sell my DT Swiss XRC limited edition World Championship carbon forks as I don't race as much as I used to so don't need such a bling fork!
It is in almost perfect condition apart from a few scrapes on the outside of the fork due to cables (shown in the pictures). The fork has not left it's packaging (apart from for the photos) since it was serviced by Pace/DT Swiss 6 months ago so the internals are in great condition.
It's the lightest fork on the market (on par with a carbon Cannondale lefty) and works incredibly well. It is very supple yet handled everything I could throw at it whilst XC racing on it.
I'm looking for around £450 (now £300) for it as they retailed at £800+ but am open to offers so feel free to ask!
Spec:
Travel: 100mm
Wheelsize: 26''
Weight: 1250g
Spring: Air spring with coil negative spring
Adjustments: Air pressure adjust, Rebound and a remote lockout
There is a 200hr recommended service interval which is far better than other manufactures too.
Thanks for looking!

Jun 22, 2014Kona CoilAir
$450 GBPHi here is my Kona Coilair for sale. I am open to offers as long as they're not too ridiculous.
I am selling it because I have got into XC and road and have found that I just go at everything on my XC bike instead of using this!
It's a great bike and goes downhill like a stink but will climb pretty well for bike of its travel. I have done a fair bit of riding on it and have managed some Lake district epics (involving a bit of hike-a-bike) and loads of trail centres. The bike is still going strong and the rear end is still incredibly supple although the front forks have gone a bit sticky due to lack of use.
The hubs are running fine although they are a bit noisy so may require a bit of grease.
Scraps and chips:
There are a few scrapes in the usual places as shown in the photographs, the worst being from cable rub on the swing-arm.
There are a couple of scrapes on one stantion of the fork but the scrapes only go inwards so do not affect the fork when it cycles through its travel.
Another problem I had was with the forks axle. It is made from quite a soft metal and so after a bit, the allen hole almost rounded so I wedged a very small allen key into the end to make it easier to take out. It looks a little odd (shown in the photos) but doesn't affect how it rides.
Spec:
Frame: CoilAir (Medium)
Fork: Fox 36 Float with 20mm through axle
Shock: Fox DHX Air
Wheels: Sunringe Singletrack rims with Shimano hubs.
Brakes: Hayes 9, but the rear brake has a Avid Juicy 5 rear caliper and Goodridge Hose and works really well!
Chainset: Raceface Evolve DH
Bars, Stem, Seatpost: Raceface Evolve DH
Rear Mech: Shimano XT
Front: Shimano LX
Shifters: Shimano LX
Saddle: WTB
Thanks for looking, drop me a message if you're interested!
Cheers
Sam
