Wanted X-LITE L168

[stocko]

up

 

[Betsy]

Morning,

I searched for years for the shorter version of the L168 in silver.. passing up 3 or 4 longer versions which were slightly battered.. eventually i bought this one in mint condition..



..and stripped the ano



..typically, 6 months later, this shorter NOS version landed on my doorstep


.. which i intended.. again to strip the ano and replace the longer version but that was nearly a year ago, i've just been so damn busy, i haven't had the time, when i do eventually get my ass in gear, the longer version will probably be up for grabs, no guarantees tho, i need to ride it first.

At the same time, i'm going to replace the CK headset with this..



..because damn @d8mok has appealed to my worse sense of paranoia *insert shaky fist emoji*

CK headsets are my favourite but still wince when I see a pace with one.

Ringle are much rarer too

I think your wincing is entirely legit.. this RC300 frame which was listed on ebay was mint otherwise



I've been keeping a close eye on mine after every ride to the point where i thought.. this is driving me nuts, i'm just going to swap it out.. sorry for the thread jack @stocko

I’ve seen so many cracked ones now. And all have a common denominator

Cool.. i'm after a mint Syncros Hardcore in 29.4mm (pref 425 but 330 also considered) if you find or have one, it would certainly motivate me!.. + some £££s from my direction.
It's this one i'm after.. is it 3rd Gen? .. i forget.
