Trek 4500 17.5" MTB, good spec

[Treker]

I really don't want to sell this as its basically my perfect bike, but it will just be sat in the shed gathering dust otherwise, and I can always build another one. I spent a fair bit of money and time sourcing new or mint period correct items for it, and so everything on the bike is 2004-2006 made. A lot if not all is NEW old stock. I have been a bike mechanic for over 10 years, and always build my own bikes. This ride spot on, no noises or sloppy gears!

Price is £350. If I get no interest I will split it.
Located in Reading.

I can understand it may be a high price for a bike without disc brakes, but not everyone wants discs, and this is a MINT condition bike, apart from a few marks to the frame.

I am going to split the bike next weekend, prices will be as follows:

= Frame with BB, seat clamp and post, headset - £80 ONO
= Wheels with tubes, tyres and QR's - £135 ONO
= Forks without v-brake bosses - £60 ONO
= LX group set (crank, derailleurs, shifters, cables) - £60 ONO

The rest, just ask. I will try and get some more pictures up today.

Thanks

Just thought I'd mention that technically this area is meant for sales of bits and bobs up to 1997. So you might generate some more interest in the 1998 -> one (which is here: http://www.retrobike.co.uk/forum/viewforum.php?f=39)

Good luck with the sale though - hope you get what you want, looks a nice bike.
