just putting this one up for sale to gauge interest, its a lovely bike all working and in excellent shape and used daily by myself.
I bought it from a friend who bought it new in 1998. there is no damage anywhere and the smallest amount of cable rub, paint is in excellent condition but had stickers on it and has left residue which would need cleaning off.
spec is original but I have upgraded the bars to ea50 risers and the pedals to sharkbites, grips are yeti, tyres are conti verticals but will be supplied with the original ground control team and master (yellow and red band) brakes are deore v but also have the original dia compe ones as well. the drivetrain is in excellent condition with minimal wear, the forks are... well 1998 elastomer forks, they bounce well but the preload doesn't work very well and they tend to top out when pulling a wheelie (like a thud noise) the rear shock works just fine. no play in any of the bearings and is ready to enjoy another lovely summer.
130 quid collected from Milton Keynes of will bring it on a train anywhere on the London midland north to south (Liverpool to London) line provided a return ticket is supplied in advance.
I wont post this as the last bike I posted was near new and got damaged in transit and I subsequently lost 150 quid on the deal but I will box it up if you want to arrange a courier but that will be entirely at your own risk so I suggest taking out a decent insurance cover.
im selling it because I need a more suitable commuter and there is a Saracen kili lurking with my name on it! :D
