Nov 23, 2017Surly Instigator 2.0 Fatbike Hardtail 27.5 650B
$800 GBPFor Sale is, what is essentially a brand new 2016 Surly Instigator. It's basically a 'semi-fatbike', big (but not ridiculous) 2.7 inch tires on the trials bike type wheels. Tall enough to make the wheels as tall as a 650B. I bought this bike to commute to work and occasionally use for rides at the weekend, I wanted something that was cheaper than a full on all mountain bike but still had the same build quality and ruggedness. Unfortunately it rarely gets used for even commuting and is just taking up space in my apartment so I have decided to sell.
It has literally seen mud, off road ONCE... on a ride to Stoodley Pike near Hebden Bridge, the rest of the time I sometimes use it to trundle the 5 minutes to work in Leeds City Centre. Its a shame I have it, it would be great to see it go to someone who its going to use it to its full potential.
Collection from Leeds, or I can box up and post to the UK with Paisley Freight for £30.
Specs below taken from Surly's website:
This thing is beefy and tough, yet quick-handling and well balanced.
This new Instigator differs from the old one of course. Most notably, Instigator 2.0 is what we call 26+, designed to run 26˝ (559mm ETRTO) Rabbit Hole rims. At 50mm they’re quite a bit wider than standard MTB rims, and coupled with our 2.75˝ Dirt Wizard tires the overall diameter is about 27.5˝ (roughly 650b). All this means you get loads of traction and cushion yet you can still accelerate like mad.
The toptube is long and the wheelbase relatively short, with a nice front/rear balance. This thing is made from the ground up to swoop, rail, hammer, drift, carve and fly.
It goes downhill like nobody’s business and climbs well too. Instigator 2.0 employs a 44mm headtube, which paired with a tapered steerertube will provide a stiff front end and compatibility with lots of suspension forks. The rear end uses our new Modular Dropout System, allowing you to change up your drivetrain according to your riding preference.

Jul 16, 2016Orange Alpine 160 Medium / Large || Five || Segment
$1150 GBPFor Sale is my much loved Orange Alpine 160.
It has been cared for with no expense spared by an Orange enthusiast from the home town they are made here in Halifax.
It has just had a service, including hub bearings and brake bleed. Virtually new tyres, spokes and wheels front and back.
Spec:
Alpine 160 frame. M/L. (17inch from crank to seat tube top)
(23inch top tube)
Cane creek Double Barrel shock. 400x250lb spring.
Fox Float air 36 forks with high and low speed compression adjust.
Race face respond cranks. (Bombproof!) & Straight Line chain device. (Single speed up front)
Shimano XT shifter.
Shimano Saint Brakes with custom blue matching floating rotors (203mm up front)
ZTR Flow EX wheels. (Tubeless. Although it is running tubes).

Thick Race Face lock on grips in green matching the chain device.

Thompson Seatpost and OnOne saddle.
Hope Headset.
Will throw in a Rock Shox reverb dropper post but please note it will need servicing hence why it's not on the bike.
One of the stickers on the fork sleeves is slightly tatty. Could maybe do with a new pair?
A few usual cable rub marks and chips but generally looks great as I'm sure you'll agree. Will supply with flat pedals.
Pick up from Halifax West Yorkshire only. Please call 07880 474 925 for any queries as I don't usually come on PinkBike. Price is OVNO.
I've also some well priced Thule 591's for sale if interested.
Thanks for looking.
Oliver.
