Rare opportunity to preserve a piece of British mountain biking history.
I bought this bike new from Bike in Bristol in May 2005. All the original paperwork is shown. Everything is as it came out of the shop apart from the usual consumables (tyres, cables,chains etc).
The Hope discs work perfectly, still giving 1-finger stopping. The mechs and shifters are all XT and work great. I've basically ridden this once or twice a year in the last 8 or 9 years, but I couldn't bring myself to part with it. However too many N+1 means something has to give, and this takes up the most room and gets used the least.
There are two small paint chips (shown) on what you might call a top tube, due to lock incidents, and a bit of cable run on the front fork. Other than that the paintwork is all good.
I'll even include Preston, who the bike was named after!
£995
