overconfident
Dirt Disciple
I've swapped this out for a brand new Stooge. Possibly something I'll regret but done now anyway.
Ritchey Frame
I bought the frame from singletrackworld last year. Its a large, 19 inch frame.
It's the newer P29, so black and yellow with a tapered headtube. It rides spectacularly well on XC stuff. Only weighs about 2kg, so very light for a steel 29er, which I suppose is to be expected for the £700+ they go for brand new.
I had it set up with the rigid Salsa forks but it's designed for 100mm forks and some people seem to run 120mm.
It's in good condition, a few marks as to be expected and some of the helitape is starting to peel at the edges. Hopefully these things are captured in the pics. There is a touch of hammerite rustproof paint around the chainstay and I've put some Gorrilla Tape on the headtube for protection: both these look rather unattractive in the pictures with the flash going, but in daylight they look much better, at least to me.
Annoyingly, when I was stripping the frame I found a small dent in the seat tube next to the bottle cage bolt. I've never crashed it, so I assume this either came from a clumsy bike-falling-over-while-cleaning-it accident I had a while back, or it was there when I got it and I'd forgotten. Probably the former TBH. I've tried to capture this in a couple of the pictures.
Looking to get most of my money back as I've not ridden it a huge amount, so after £280
Salsa Forks
As for the forks, I picked them up from here in almost new condition. They are still in great nick, very good cosmetically and structurally sound of course -- it would be rather hard to damage a pair of steel forks with a 15mm axle and tapered steerer.
These are super rare and £160 from Charlie the Bikemonger (if he had them in stock). So looking for £100
Postage costs will be on top of these prices, but I'm happy to go halves on them.
Alternatively I'm in Leeds for collection, or can potentially drive to meet somewhere not too far away or if passing (I may head to the Lakes or North Wales in the coming weeks)
Best email if you're interested
Thanks
