Retro Newbie
20" Scandium framed XC hard tail:
Bought it as a bare frame about 8 years ago - had it stripped and powder coated in satin black - the frame weighs next to nothing. Built it up and then gradually bought bits and pieces to upgrade it and keep it as black as possible.
Mavic 717 rims with XT hubs.
XT 175mm crankset with nearly new rings and BB.
Magura Menja 100XC fork with Dual Arch for extra rigidity.
Hayes Stroker Ryde brakes.
Fizik Gobi seat.
Controltech Scandium bars.
On One stem.
Ritchey WCS headset.
XT front mech.
LX "low normal" rear mech.
XT rear cassette.
Kona lock-on-grips.
Specialized tyres - could do with a new set.
I realise it's not quite as old as some of the bikes on here. But it was a professional spec machine in its day. I last used it about 3 years ago and it's been sat in my dining room since, so I thought I'd see if there was any interest on here.
It's in great condition - only used a couple of times after replacing the cassette, rings, BB. There is a slight ding on the downtube, but nothing serious or structural.
£200 ono
Based in Newcastle upon Tyne.
