Firstly the price might seem a bit much but this is a rare bike and it cost a hell of lot more!!! This is seriously the nicest modern hardtail I've ever ridden, but since I broke my back she's been sat in the garage not getting used, and she deserves to be ridden! I will probably cry when she leaves though! :cry:

The frame is a Chromag Bikes Sakura size small (15.5") all the geo details can be found here: http://www.chromagbikes.com/frames/sakura. The Sakura is one of Chromags hand made in Squamish, BC, Canada frames. It is Chromags take on a modern light/zippy steel frame. They are only available direct from Ian at Chromag, and carry a fairly hefty (but justified) price tag! The paint has the odd scuff etc as you would expect from a bike that has been ridden. No dents or anything like that. The build consists of mostly beautiful Chromag parts with some other high end goodies! The fork is a Fox F120 RL and the drivetrain is a sensible mix of XT and SLX. She weighs in at approx 26lb as built here. Full spec:

This bike really is in good condition! I rode it for about 3 1/2 months before my accident and since then it hasn't been used! I was working as a bike mechanic then so it has been constantly looked after!

I'm looking for £1100 for her! She is my pride and joy! But she does need a new home.. :cry:


















 
Yea I love all the little design details that go into all the Chromag stuff! Definitely sets tham apart from all the made-in-taiwan-off-the-shelf-rubbish out there these days! Their stuff also has a retro sort of quality going on if you get me! 8)

I'd love to keep hold of this bike, but I really can't.. :cry:

From what I understand they are only available direct from Ian at Chromag and when I bought this it was $1300cad for the frame..
