Don't really want to sell this but need to thin the fleet and raise some funds for other projects so wanted to see if it got any interest on here before I go down the eBay route.
Got this in a slightly sorry condition so has been fully recommissioned as street/pumptrack bike, which has involved the following new parts fitted:
- SE Bikes wheelset and freewheel, seen less than 20 miles use, still no brake wear yet.
- SE Bikes Landing Gear fork
- FSA Orbit Headset
- Unbranded alloy chain ring
- KMC gold chain
- Cromo cruiser bars (can't remember what ones off the top of my head but they weren't cheap)
- BBB (correctly sized) seatpost
- Dual compound brake pads
- Inner and outer cables
I've also serviced the bottom bracket with new bearings and fitted some used but good Raw DMR V12 pedals.
The tyres are used Kenda Small Block 8's but still have plenty of tread left and no cracks
The rear brake is an Avid Arch rival with corresponding lever, again in good used condition
Negatives:
- The frame is structurally good but the paintwork is tatty at best, as are the decals.
- Crank Arms are scuffed so could do with being powdercoated to make them fresh (although they are 3 piece so this wouldn't be hard to do)
- Stem is a used on so again could do with a repaint or replacement to look mint
- Doesn't come with a saddle as i'm keeping the Turbo for a different bike
Basically, it's a repaint and saddle away from being mint or could just be ridden as is.
I'm after £225 for it, the fork and wheels alone would fetch more than that but I would be really disappointed if this ended up being broken.
Collection from Newport, South Wales or I can post, but contact me for a quote.
