XTRM950 wheels and skewers sold on Ebay almost immediately - suggests I could have got more :-) Hopes still available.

Prices are not including postage which will be charged at what it actually costs me (post office/parcel force only and signed for only).

Bump - prices dropped as these are on Ebay now, and on here there are no listing fees so listed here for less. All the other syncros/Hope/etc bits I sold have found happy homes now so hopefully I am an unknown quantity no longer! Also XTRM950 combo brake/shifter levers going on Ebay...

Starting with the frame and forks I have started listing these parts (more to be added - the wheels later this week) on Ebay as "buy it nows" with the same username as I have here ( alf_e90 ) so should be easy to find. I need to verify the paypal account before it will let me list more so it...

Frame, forks, and some other bits now up in the for sale section - will be checking that post only from now on. Wheels and other M950 bits will follow.

All weights listed as per Park bike scales so to nearest 10g Pair Hope Ti hubs with Mavic 618 ceramic rims, DT DB spokes. Exceptional condition - were barely used, just enough to take the bulk of the ceramic off (which takes nanoseconds....). I bought them as a winter set but always thought...

Thanks - I will be splitting it - I have seen various threads on here suggesting people but bikes whole then split for parts at profit! I have had trouble Ebaying less well known parts parts before but I am a bit of an XTRM050-3 and Pace spotter and know it sells well. Old XTR gear is...

Thanks for the replies. I like the ride of my Lightning - it has a much more lively, comfortable ride than the Alu bikes of the same era (and a fair bit later) that I have ridden, and does not lack anything I notice in responsiveness for that comfort. Nothing stays looking as good over time...

Indeed - I will do proper threads in the for sale section when I come to sell - which will be when I have found the time to split it, if that is the way it goes. I continue to use 8 speed XTR but I do have too many spares, especially of things like the dual control levers that I will not...

I previously owned one of the original Hecklers which I upgraded with an air shock, and currently have both a pre-facelift Superlight and Blur Classic with 8 speed XTRM950-3 builds and Pace or DT Swiss forks. All came in around 27 pounds with pedals and kit sturdy enough for a lightish rider not...

Hello, I am a newbie here, I don't really consider myself a retro biker as such but I got into MTB in the late 90's and have an affection for 8 speed XTRM950-3 gear (which adorns all my bikes plus plenty of spares in the garage!) and it is great to see the enthusiasm for kit from the era I was...
