In my eyes I have a very special and rare bike for sale.
It's an early Clark Kent f14 ( before they started outsourcing the welding).
The Mrs has put her foot down and said one of the bikes has to go !
I've owed the bike since my early 20s ( I'm 40 now ) and it was used just for trails back then.
I love the bikes geometry and the light weight, it gives it such nibble handling. I'm sorry to say it has been in the garage and moved from house to house for many years without much use.
Then 2 years ago I changed all the cables, new Shimano vee brakes and Rockshocks, stripped and rebuilt it in the hope this would inspire me to use it more.
This did work for a while and really enjoyed riding it again then I buggered my back very badly and haven't ridden it off road since.
I used it as a training bike after this hence the road tyres but in all honestly it doesn't do the bike justice.
I understand the money is in the frame that's why I'm asking £650 for the whole bike or £500 for the frame on its own.
I'm happy to deliver it within say a 100 radius from Sevenoaks Kent foc after that I will have to charge fuel money to drop it to you or figure out a way to ship it.
Spec is : 19.5 Inch TI frame, Combination of Cook Brothers and Pace chain set, Azonic down hill bars, Shimano xt gears and brakes, Rock shox recon 327 ( new ). XT cassette, mavic 217 rims.
Any other question please feel free to e mail.
At present this is only advertised here but will have to move onto e bay if it doesn't sell.
I want it to go to a good home so thought i'd try Retro bike first as I can see by the posts how passionate everybody is about their bikes on here. Please contact me via the forum if you're interested.
