Hi
Here I have for sale my venerable Mr.XC

The condition is nother short of remarkable , only having had very light use by me. I bought it back in 2002 from a guy who had it from new but clearly didnt ever really use it. For years I also didn't ride it hardly at all until I started to get back into cycling a couple of years ago. When I did, I soon hankered after other bikes and 8 bikes later the rest is history lol!!
Please be aware that this is not your usual tired, worn out and generally shagged old mountain bike. I welcome any viewing
When I did get back into cycling I sent the forks and shock to be overhauled, had new chainset fitted, chris king headset, cables etc etc.This was approx 2 ish years ago. As i didnt really then use it I nicked the new crank and rings off it for another build. It now has a brand spanking new Deore crank and rings.

The spec is as follows:
Size 16"
Marzocchi Bomber front fork (2002)
Fox Float R Shock
XT Brakes and levers

Deore Chainset (brand new)

Nice bike - I've got an 18" one ;)

Don't suppose you could check the serial number for me please - is a date - or is it a proper serial no?

Cheers!
 
Cheers - mine's a March 99.

Any idea what yours weighs? Mine's running disks etc - so a bit weightier.
 
No idea.... I don't have any scales to hand but if I get a chance I'll try and get hold of some and weigh it. I've never come across another one... Starting to think I want to hold onto it. It was the first high quality bike I ever bought and so I have quite an emotional connection to it. That said, too many bikes, not enough time space and cash!!!
 
Hmm yeah. Sightseeing and Xmas shopping trip? Visit the Olympics site?
A chance to travel on our world class transport system? Ok, thought not :LOL:
