Up for sale is the my Prestige. It is a 19” frame, which suits me well at 5’10”. Overall the bike is in good condition, though the paintwork – resprayed in pearl white, has seen better days. The forks have been overhauled with new seals, elastomers and grease. The chain and cassette haven’t done many miles, and I recently fitted new cable inners.
A lot of the components show marks as you would expect from a used mountain bike. Mechanically though, it has been excellent and trouble free.
EDIT: The bike is now in lots of pieces so not for sale as a whole!
