I’ve just stripped down this bike to use some of the parts on a smaller frame for my wife. This bike was hardly been used, I only really used it for family bike rides. I’m a roadie but built this following a cycling holiday to Morzine with the intension to race MTB, but only did 1 race and went...

Hi, Looking for a new frame for my wife who is just under 5’ 2”. Want something to accommodate: Disc brakes IS mount 26” QR wheels 100mm forks with a straight steerer Threaded BB What ya got? Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. She currently rides a ladies specific XS Giant Yukon which comes up at about 14”. Its fine for her height wise, but a bit short. With the original stem she was virtually banging her knees. I suppose an option would be to rebuild with that frame!

Hi, I’ve just upgraded to a 29er and rather than sell my old MTB for peanuts I thought it would be nice to give it to my wife. The bike has had very minimal use (I’m a roadie really) and whilst isnt cutting edge is in great condition and rides really nicely. (27 speed LX groupset throughout...

All sold except the frame. I'll double check the frame size if you are interested in just the frame, but it will be to suit a 5' 8" rider.

Re: Thanks for the replies. Sounds like it's scrap then. Even with the repair it isn't a mint example. Would you believe in 1999 my Dad and I took our bikes to alicante, and we just turned up at the airport with our bikes and put them on the plane. No bags, boxes or packaging. Then my Dad...

I've just liberated my Dad's Orange E3 from him. He bought it used in circa 1998 when I bought my Merlin WCS new, with 27speed LX. It's got XT mechs, brakes, LX shifters and Shimano chainset, 24 speed. Judy XC forks (need attention). Front wheel appears to be original as is a Coda hub, but...

Worth saying that the link above is to an auction which ended without any bidders, but if you look at my other items you will see that it has been relisted.....
