Description I don't want to waste anyones time, so to start this is a mechanically sorted bike with lots of new or nearly new parts, with cosmetic issues.
If it's not for you you can stop reading
I bought this bike in 2022 second hand from a doctor who used it to bike to work and back at the hospital, and occasionally a bit of Dalby weekend fun.
It's the 625wh version with a Large frame - I'm 6ft and it's spot on for me.
Last year I upgraded the suspension to a 2nd hand Fox Factory Float DPX2 on the rear, and a brand spanking new Fox Factory 36 on the front.
The front is now 150mm of travel, rear is 140mm
This suspension ugprade transformed the bike, it's very plush and confidence inspiring.
I've done multiple Hamsterley and Dalby rides on it as well as a lot of CX stuff and I can't fault it, even at my "heavier than average" weight.
Last years maintenance saw both front and rear calipers replaced with brand new ones, the rear derailleur replaced with a brand new one, new pads fitted all round, new cassette, new hope chainring, and a brand new RaceFace Turbine R dropper post (manufactured by Fox and basically a fox transfer)
I also fitted new orange DMR pedals, and a oneup components edc threaded top cap (the tool for this I've transfered to my new bike but you could buy the tool seperately and drop it straight in)
I was going to strip the bike down this winter and look at getting it painted in something custom, because the bike has had a paint issue since brand new. The matte lacquer pealed off when the original owner removed a delivery sticker, it didn't bother him so he didn't put a claim in. In the 18months I've owned the bike the lacquer peal on the left side of the bike has continued to spread (see photos)
Obviously this is just a visual thing, the carbon frame is still in perfect condition and the bike rides amazingly, so it never bugged me too much.
Just as I started stripping it down the christmas Sales got to me and I bought a 2023 Action Team version of the same bike
I've swapped over the wheels which are brand spanking new Newman Evolution SL EG
They are fitted with brand new Magic Mary and Big Betty tyres I believe in 29x2.4"
The rotors front and rear are 203mm ice tech shimano rotors, again brand new.
I also swapped over the grips and seat from my new bike so those are brand new too.
It also has a de-restrictor fitted, removing the factory speed limit - though this can be removed or turned on/off through the Kiox controller.
I'm advertising here first because I don't really want the hassle of ebay or facebook... but I'm in no rush to sell so if I need to I'll sit on it till Spring and then advertise on facebook marketplace.
The battery is in the house keeping warm at the moment, but I'll pop out when I can and get the mileage and update this post when I can.
Looking for £2200 ono which I think is a great deal for someone looking to get into emtb'ing with a very well spec'd bike - the suspension alone cost me £1300 last year!
Happy to meet anyone who's genuinely interested, though I won't give out my home address and no groups of people please
I can also deliver within a reasonable distance if required.
It comes with a 6a fast charger, original manuals, 2 keys etc......
