2016 cannondale beast of the East 3 sale or swap

[MAXTHEROTTI]

Hi all
I have a literally brand new cannondale beast of the East
It's the 2016 model 27.5 plus bike So 2.8 inch wide tyres (frame will easily take 3.2 inch)
Done 4.6 miles according to my strava
Problem I have is its no good for commuting being too low geared and too much tyre drag
So looking.to swap for a more traditional bike ie 3x front rings and 2.2 wide tyres
The dale is as stock bar the brakes have been upgraded to xt all round
Sell for £800 collection only
Can email pics

What tyre standard are you looking for? I ask as I've a 26 inch wheeled bike I don't really ride (well haven't ridden since building up, it's very similar to my pipedream scion which gets first pick). It's built around a mcmahone the sword alloy frame, xt 10 speed mechs and shifters (all new), race face cranks/turbine rings, formula brakes, ritchey wheels, Reba forks, use sumo seat post, stem and carbon bars. It's very tidy indeed. If it fits the bill, let me know and I can grab some pics.

Re:

Here's a few pics taken today. It is crazy light imho, taking it out of the garage today made me wonder why I don't ride it.

So what's the frame like as I have never heard of them??

It's light, solid and looks pretty as well, with the 'M' brace at the seat stay junction, the box section rear end etc. I can't really speak personally on how it rides having only ridden it around the local park once I had built it up. Torn between parting with it now, but lets see your BOTE then, I can't seem to find the same spec you mention after a quick bit of searching.

MacMahone still do a version of this bike in singlespeed: http://www.macmahone.com/dt_catalog/sword-singlespeed/
