£800 Rigid Custom MTB M/L (XT, Bontrager Spin Carbon)

Dirt Disciple
Hi All

I am now selling my MTB, as i am no longer riding off road. The bike was originally bought as a project for £750 and has had around £200 spent on parts and £200+ on labour since then.

Its done less then 200 miles since being built up (from a mix of brandnew components and very low milage parts). I am a keen road club cyclist, cycling daily on my roadbike and dont have much interest in offroading anymore. The current condition is very good, i.e.there are no marks on the frame/all components work as if new.

The frame is a little small for me as im 6ft 2" and without a huge amount of seatpost, its not suitable for me.

Im a little unsure how much to ask for the bike, so thought i would get some opinions first. Here are the specs/pics;

Aluminium 7005 Frame (Medium/Large Frame)
Kona P2 Rigid Forks
Spin Carbon Wheelset

Information
For sale is my custom built Mountain Bike. All parts were acquired individually and the bike was assembled in Evans Cycles (London Bridge) and has been regularly serviced by myself and Northwood Cycles (Northwest London).

The frame is made from 7005 Aluminium(size Medium/Large) and has been dressed with high quality components. I am 6ft 2” and the bike is a little on the small side for me. I would recommend the bike for someone 5ft 8” to around 6ft 1,” All components, excluding the wheel set were bought new or in excellent condition (details can be provided regarding all components).

The wheel set is made by ‘Spin’ and is made from Carbon, with an Aluminium braking surface. The wheel set is one of the strongest made on the market and can take standard or tubeless tyres (as it does not have spokes).

The Group set is full Shimano XT, with the addition of XTR Carbon Brake Boosters. The majority of the finishing kit is Bontrager Carbon components; to increase comfort and keep the weight of the bike down to a minimum.

Welcome the forum!
This lot (just behind me), who know their onions, are just about to tell you how much better you'll do by splitting the bike & selling the parts.

I'm just putting myself first in line for:
XTR carbon brake boosters
XT v-brakes & levers
Seatpost, stem, bars & ends (if, by any chance, they're the right sizes!)

This may seem callous, but it's the RetroBike way... ;) :LOL:

Best of luck with the sale,
Pete
 
He's right :LOL: you're much more likely to get on your way to your target if you break this.... the frame won't make much but the parts will probably do ok for you, esp the wheels if they're in good nick ;)
 
Like the look of the flat pedals and XTR carbon (?) skewers too, depending on price, if you even do decide to split...

Bet it's lovely & light, any idea what the current weight is? Or what the frame is? Just curious, and someone's bound to ask...
 
Thanks for all the quick responses!

I'm not actually sure on the make of the frame. It's made from 7005 alloy
and was told that it was inported from Germany and is a quality frame (I'm not so sure though).

The bike is pretty lightweight, however I'm used to carbon roadbikes so it still feels heavy to me.

I'd ideally like to sell complete as I have my bedroom full of
road and track frames which I will need to shift first. I understand that more could be made by splitting so will consider this if hasn't sold shortly.

I'm after a cross bike @ 58cm so if someone has something to swap please get in touch.

Also you're welcome for test rides if serious about purchase. Please get in touch!
