Dirt Disciple
VERY LONG POST I KNOW, BUT JUST TRYING TO INCLUDE AS MUCH DETAIL AS POSSIBLE...
PRICE = £300
LOCATION = BASINGSTOKE (P&P = £25)
Very reluctant sale of my beloved trials bike, due to lack of space and the fact that it’s been sat in my shed for a year untouched. I’ve just never got any good at trials and I don’t have the enthusiasm to push myself anymore with it. All my mates moved on from trials years ago so I’ve decided it’s now officially game over for me. This bike has never been abused, I’ve never had to guts to do any big drops, etc. When I was last regularly using it I would just ride to and from mates house and maybe do some bunnyhops and wheelys, I just really couldn’t be bothered. I love the way it looks though, but I can’t hang onto a bit as an ornament when it could be out there being ridden like it was designed for! I've gotten rid of girlfriends easier than this bike, really struggling to let her go!!

Positives
·Paint work excellent for its age.
·No dents.
·Frame decals all present, some a bit tattered around edges.
·Very light.
·Hard to find in this condition.
·Never been abused.
·Retro appeal.
·Just looks and handles great!
Negatives
·Frame - Small scratch on underneath of the downtube near the bottom bracket, I put some primer on it but never got round to getting any paint to replace the colour. Few scratches on chainstay from chain suck on the chain ring.
·Rear Tyre - I sanded the rims braking surface down to give it a rough edge and when I started I was lazy and didn’t take the rear tyre off so I worn the El Gato sidewall down in areas, it’s never caused a problem though, it’s just a bit frayed in certain areas.
·Brakes – I overtightened the cable holding bolts on both front and rear so stripped the threads inside the brake arms. I sorted this buy putting in longer bolts with nuts on the back.
·Seat – Bit ripped/tatty around the edge.
·Cranks – Usual scratches and scrapes on arms and bash ring from trying to get up walls.
