Jun 10, 2018Giant XTC Advanced SL
$1500 GBPHere I have for sale my Giant XTC Advanced SL in size Large.
I've decided to sell the bike as I have moved away from mountain biking onto the road, and don't have time to ride it anymore. I bought the bike new from Giant Camden in early 2016 and it has only ever been service by them as long as I've had it and overall the bike has been well looked after and is in great condition. The top bottle cage screw had some very minor play which was repaired by Giant under warranty over a year ago, this is the only issue I have had with the bike since buying it.
I'm looking for £1,500 but am open to sensible offer, if you have any questions please drop me a message.
Spec is as follows
Frame: Advanced SL-Grade Composite
Fork: RockShox SID RL Remote, 100mm, Pushloc lockout, QR15, Tapered

Sep 26, 2015GT Sanction Pro
$2700 GBPHere I have for sale my GT Sanction Pro in Large
This bike was formerly owned by Martin Maes and was his spare for the 2014 season. He never actually rode and was sold on to me at the end of the season.
Since I've owned it I've made a couple of changes and have got a fair amount of use out of it. The Sanction is without a doubt the best and most capable bike I've owned, confidence inspiring at speed and stable through the rough stuff.
I've just started working in London and have decided to put all my focus into XC racing next season so I don't have time to use this any more.
As can be seen in the pictures, the bike is in great condition. There's some cable rub on the top tube from a brake cable I had to wrap around the headtube whilst out in Morzine.
The Spec is as follows:
Frame: GT Sanction Pro 2015 - Large
Fork: Rockshox Pike RCT3 160mm - bought in August, used twice - will come with 3 extra bottomless tokens
Shock: Fox Float X - no marks on stroke and seal still in good condition
Wheels: Lightbicycles AM rims on XTR hubs
Tyres: Schwalbe Nobby Nic and Hans Damps - will also be supplied with Continental Der Baron Projekt 2.4
Gearing: Shimano XTR M980 - XT Cassette with OneUp conversion
Brakes: Shimano XTR Race - 200mm front and 180mm rear rotors
Cranks: Shimano XTR M980 - Raceface 34t chainring
Seatpost: Rockshox Reverb - Bought in August used twice
Seat - SDG Duster
Pedals - Shimano XT Trail
Bar and Stem: Pro Atherton Series - 50mm stem, 740mm bar 20mm rise
Grips: Odi Stay Strong grips
I'm looking for £2700 but will not go much below that, this is a top spec bike!
I can do collection from Crouch End in North London or Victoria.
Any questions please ask

Sep 3, 2015Fox 34 Factory CTD Talas 160-130mm
$325 GBPHere I have for sale my 2015 Fox 34 Factory CTD Talas 160-130mm 650b
The forks have a Tapered steerer and a 15mm thru axle
2 tiny marks to the stanchion and 3 scuffs on the decals on the lowers
Overall the forks are in a great condition but are in need of a service based on the Fox recommendations as they have been ridden throughout the summer.
I have priced them according to the fact they need a service and postage will be included in the price.
Any questions please ask

Aug 18, 2015Whyte 29C Team
$1100 GBPHere I have for sale my 2014 Whyte 29C Team. The bike was bought as a frame only in April 2014 and built to the spec I needed to race XC this season. The bike has seen considerable use since then and has been raced 10 times this season.
The bike handles the descents better than any other xc hardtail I've ridden, it's really stable at speed and over the rough stuff and feels super nimble in the corners. It's a super light bike and certainly helped on the climbs during races and training!
There is some foot rub on the left chain stay and some damage to the lacquer on the left side of the top tube. The cranks also have some rub on them. The bike has some light knocks as is to be expected from a bike that has been raced but it's in overall excellent working condition and has been maintained well. It will come with a spare mech hanger and has just had a new one installed.
The bike is specced as follows:
Frame: 2014 Whyte 29c T - Large (20.5in)
Forks: 2015 Rockshox Reba RL 100m 15mm axle - bought new in April
Wheels: Stans Crest Rims on Hope Pro 2 Evo Hubs
Groupset: 2014 SRAM XX1 with 2015 Shimano XT Cassette (brand new) - Currently using Absolute black 34t spiderless ring, will also come with sram x-sync 32t ring and spider
Brakes: 2014 Shimano XT M785 with 180mm f and 160mm r shimano rotors
Bars: 2015 Easton EC70 Flat bar 720mm
Stem: KCNC 70mm -17deg OR Ritchey WCS 80mm -8deg
Grips: ESI (used once)
Seatpost: Thomson Elite 30.9mm with Thomson clamp
Seat: Cannondale Synapse (old seat is going to be used on my next bike)
Pedals: Shimano XT
Tyres: Specialized Fast Trak - Control Front, Sworks rear - setup tubeless
Chainguide: E-thirteen XCX
BB: Brand new FSA PF30
Headset: Hope
I'm looking for £1300ono. I'm willing to post at the buyers expense but would rather collection from the North London area.
Any questions please ask
Cheers
Tom

It's not the riders lack of ability or a dropper post that prevents them riding down these features, it's that fact that in the first couple of laps the entire field is trying to get down them at once. This usually means you have to stop to wait for other racers and loose momentum right where you don't want to and you have to run down.

Aug 2, 2015Fox DOSS CTD Dropper Post 31.6 100mm Drop
$140 GBPHere I have for sale my Fox DOSS CTD Dropper Post 31.6 100mm Drop
The post and remote are included in the sale. I have not included a cable as it simply uses gear cable to operate and the cable needed replacing when it was removed from my bike.
The post is in good condition. It holds it's air pressure well and runs smoothly between the 3 CTD settings. There are some small marks on the stroke of the post (all pictures). These marks do not affect performance.
The seal is in good condition.
I'm looking for £140 posted
