I've decided that as I'm never going to ride this bike that it's time to part with it once and for all. It's a great looking bike and is a hoot to ride, but I'm set in my ways and a steel hardtail is always going to be first out of the door. Despite being over a year old I've frobably riden it for less than 20 hours. It just hangs in the garage looking pretty but really needs to get dirty!
Frame: Mythic / Banshee Spitfire. Size small.
Bought new in 2011 at a cost of £1300. It's done a half day in Glentress, a full day in the Lakes and three nightrides from new. It is completely unmarked with no chain slap or cable rub- it's been lathered in 'copter tape since day one..it's never been fitted with a front mech either, so no marking there.
It was completely stripped over Christmas (just for something to do rather than any need) and all pivots cleaned, lubricated and retorqued correctly. The small size is ideal for anyone from 5' 2" to 5' 10" and offers loads of standover and plenty of room in the cockpit even with a 50mm stem. It has a 67 degree head angle and 73 seat angle with a sagged 160mm fork, but angles can be changed with alternative shock mounting holes. Low and slack, or higher and steeper within 3 minutes and an Allen key. Shock is a RP23 Boostvalve and isn't even run in yet.
It comes with touch up paint, a Mythic Munroe reducer headset and a seat QR.
