FS: Airborne Black Widow

[legrandefromage]

Its with heavy heart that because of impending car repair bills, cat repair bills and lack of use that I have to announce the sale of my beloved Airborne...

:cry:

Frame: 2006 titanium 17" Airborne black Widow

Wheels: Chris King ISO disk F&R with mavic rims

Headset: Chris King

Cranks: Topline compact

Brakes: original XT badged Grimeca twin pots

Shifters: LX 9spd, XT cassette, XTR Shadow rear mech

Forks: Manitou Mars

I say 'beloved' but its done less than 50 miles.... :roll: I could just not get on with the 'modern' angles and finding forks that I could get on with.

I'm looking at £750 collected, no splitting, no parting out, buy it whole and do with it what you wish,

How pretty are those seat stays?
Looks like a keeper to me.

I had an 18" Airbourne Mosquito and have always regretted selling it, how does the geometry compare to this as a 17"?

I havent found a stem/bar combo that I can get on with for that 'modern' suspension adjusted head tube angle.

The good news is that the missus has revealed that the finances arent quite as bad as she'd led me to believe and I fixed one of the faults on the taxi (retrobike tokens earner).


I'll leave it for sale for now. I might throw some Thomson parts at it for the winter.
