Nice bike that. GLWS.

Nice bike that. GLWS.

Thanks very much.

Alas, following medical advice, I had a 6 week break from riding. 1st ride out and my neck's gone again.

Time to knock it on the head I fear, excuse the pun !

I'm wondering if it's worth installing the SLX shifters as the SRAM grip shift may be putting people off ?

 

[dan_bo]

Lot of people are skint mate.

To be honest, there's nothing about that bike that's off-putting and, if it was me, I would snap it up in a heatbeat.

However, NOBODY wants a 26er anymore - I know, I've been trying to sell an On One Inbred for months now and nobody wants it, not even for £350.

You may be better off splitting it. I only ride and build 26ers myself and may be interested in a few bits - especially the wheels

 

[dan_bo]

Or try retrobike.

 

[TTSS]

It's on there.

You make some valid points but I'm sure there's someone out there that will want it.

I know it's very early days yet but I'm going to change the shifters for the SLX standard ones' tomorrow and put the Renthal bars on it.

 

[TTSS]

And it's now £595.

 

[TTSS]

SLX shifters now on it and the Renthal Bars.

 

[TTSS]

Now has a Shimano XTR rear mech.

 

[TTSS]

It's still available and it's £595 or near offer.

 

[fossyant]

It's too big for me. Can you chop a couple of inches off !

 

[fossyant]

26" will be back in again. Crazy world of MTB. 2 x 26'ers, a 27.5 and a 29 in this house, pain in the aris all these tubes.
