Welsh Gravity Enduro Mash-Up, Round One, Afan - Video
Drove two hours to ride the race in the rain then snapped my pedal out of my crank at the start of stage 3. Still, left with a smile.

Nov 24, 2015Trek Remedy - Full Custom Build
$1300 GBPSo I have finally decided to part with my pride and joy. The reason i am selling this bike is because i've taken it as far as i can go. There isn't much left for me to upgrade or work on and so i want a new project. Hence i will consider bike related trades and sensible offers. I'm in no rush to sell and still thoroughly love riding this bike so am not going to accept stupid offers.
All that aside here is the spec, as you can see from the pictures the bike is nothing like the original, i only bought the frame and then built the bike around that:
FRAME - Trek Remedy 9 Aluminium, Medium 17.5", resprayed in Traffic Yellow, 150mm Travel
SHOCK - Fox Float DRCV RP23 w Boost Valve, this shock has been fitted with a custom volume spacer and given a kashima coat and new decals, its superb.
FORK - Rockshox Pike RCT3, 160mm Travel, purchased summer this year
WHEEL SET - HopeTech Enduro, 26", customised with matching yellow decals
DRIVE-TRAIN - Shimano XT 1x10 (11-42 with one-up expander), shadow+ clutch mech
BRAKES - Shimano XT
STEM/BARS - Ragley stem, Renthal FatBar Lites
CRANKS - Shimano SLX
PEDALS - Specialized Flats
TYRES - Schwalbe Hans Dampf rear, Schwalbe Muddy Mary front
If you have any other questions about the spec please ask. It has been fully customised with matching graphics on the fork and shock and wheels so that it all ties in well. I like yellow bikes,..... I do most work myself and have kept it in tip top condition, no scratches or dents on the frame (not one, its immaculate) !!! No play in wheels and fork/shock are buttery smooth.
This has been my race bike for the year while i have been getting into enduro racing, it performs great and is ready to race. Solid planted feel that will reward good riding.
Check out the pictures and message if you are interested.
Cheers,
Chris
