Merida Big Nine 40 D - Bye Bye

[iateyoubutler]

Aiming to be out next week again on this bike.
We have come up with some plans to modify the living quarters a bit, which will mean I can have two bikes at home, one inside and one under a cover outside.
So, I will return the Merida to single-speed, and with @iateyoubutler 's blessing, will offer it free to collect as he did.
Then, try and fit 28s to the Scott. That will be tight.
Bring it up to 3x9, 52-42-30t and 12-36t using an Alivio RD-M4000 Shadow mech. Inside bike, and to make it really as unobtrusive as possible, it will need to go back to drops, so I'll be after compact drops and 3x9 Sora brifters.
The already 9-speed Trek will be the outside bike.
The Pug mixte will also have to go, so there will be two bikes up for grabs by end of March - gotta have that spinal surgery done first...

Doesn`t bother me, your bike now, you call the shots

The gardener here is into downhill mountain biking, and she's the right size for it, ie bigger than me!

Now with delighted new owner!
Relative to the off-road monsters she normally rides, this will be her lane-pootler!
