One last bump before It hits t'bay...would consider any 'nice' modern kit in a trade...Cheers, Mike

That's awesome, Mike, sorry I'm not in the market to buy-hope it finds a good home soon.
Sean's black Avalanche came to live with me, and ended up looking like this, as a practical classic for commuting and hack duties.The paintwork's just smooth Hammerite. In the summer, i had a BAD crash on it in Swinley Forest, probably riding too fast on a bike that doesn't work as well as my modern mtb. As a result, me and that bike were no longer friends, so it's now living back in Bristol with my brother in law. Gets regularly used for road training/recreational riding.

Cool, thanks for that and looking good there in It's new paint.

Anyone interested, please make me an offer

the condition of that looks spot on.... worth every penny of 150 quid

You're not wrong.

If it was an 18" I'd have had to have it, no question.

 

[Laundrymike]

Anyone interested @ £130 to save it from t'bay tomorrow...? Cheers, Mike

 

[Laundrymike]

I put it on ebay in the end...finishes tonight, just after 20:00 GMT along with some old XT thumbies

Yes

I won this yesterday, as its the same as the bike I bought from JE James in Chesterfield when I was 17, and the last fully built bike I was ever going to buy (so far).

as you can see I made a few mods by 1994

my friend still has my old wheels from the bike pictured and I have the front mech and cantis, just need to get hold of sti levers?

 

[Laundrymike]

Nice one, glad It's gone to a good home...small world eh, since I bought one of these brand new myself! Still have it back at my folks...shame I've out grown It and this one was to big

Enjoy fella
