FS: Rock Lobster 853 Reynolds 21” Reba, XT, Conti Chili, Formula, Sunline
---------------------------
Hi all,
A change in circumstances means that I would like to sell my Rock Lobster. This is an incredible bike and very sad to see it go. Very agile, light and testament that 26 ain’t dead!
Size:
Reynolds 853 steel
21” XL frame
Seat Tube – 19” C-C, 21” C-T
Top Tube – 23” C-C, ETT 23.25”
Ritchey dropouts
More geometry in pic below
Specs:
Rock Shox Reba Dual Air, remote lock out. Seals changed 100 miles ago.
XT hubs, Mavic 719 rims
Continental Rubber Queen Black Chili 2.4 Front
Continental Mountain King 2.2 Black Chili Rear
Sunline XC 90mm Stem
Sunline 720mm low rise bars
Sunline lock on grips
Formula Oro K18 Brakes
Formula 180 rear rotor, 200 front
T-Mars Dropper
WTB Pure V (I think) saddle
XT 175 HTII cranks
Shimano 520 SPS pedals
1x9 Setup:
E-Thirteen 36T
SLX rear Mech
Superstar chainguide
XT Shifter
XT Cassette
SRAM Chain – Not much mileage
Weight 12.55kg/27.7
The Good:
It’s awesome!
Lightweight springy steel. Good spec kit. Rides beautifully and is a classic. Everything in very good condition. Can supply extra pads and anything else RL related I can find for the buyer.
The Bad:
Rebas were the ‘bad batch’ for the Moco seal. Seals have been replaced and absolutely fine unless you store it upright (front wheel up, then it ‘bleeds’ a little). I’ve been storing it upright (rear wheel up) and no leaks what so ever. Lockout works perfectly but a little sticky to return after remote lockout. Needs opening top of moco and light lube. Plush and stanchions great.
Some scuffs, stone chips and usual wear. No dents and nothing more than expected for a frame which has been loved and not a garage queen!
The Ugly:
Rides great. Nothing ugly!
If I’ve forgotten anything or you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.
