My main (and mainly only) mountain bike for about 7 years, the time has come to go in another direction. Utterly brilliant in a way that made all my other oldschoolers (and there's been plenty) feel a bit ordinary
17.5in size, geometry here --> http://www.bikepro.com/products/frames/merxlm.html
takes 1"1/8 headset, 27.2 post, 68mm BB shell, 34.9 TP front mech (I have an excellent XTR unit available...) Cable routing suitable for V's or Cantis on the rear.
I've photographed a couple of dents, there are some superficial scratches that'd probably scotchbrite out and the downtube bottle cage bolts are stuck in the rivnuts, which never bothered me as I used a camlebak. Seat tube ones are fine.
Collection only from my place in Bristol. I'm conveniently situated for the M4/M5 interchange
£575
