Custom Norco Shore Med New frame - spec and price change!

[russthedog]

Item Condition: Main frame is brand new - never ridden. Bike was originally a 2008. See the pics. Chain and seat stays have some chips and scratches but no dents or cranks. You can see where some of the chain protector is coming off. Everything else is really good, not ridden enough to be worn out, all links and bearings are tight and good.
Location: Sydney, near Parramatta. Will post at buyers expense. Will cost around $150 through a courier.
Price: $1600 open to offers.
Reason for selling: Never ride it, want to update both XC and DH bikes 2010 and want to use the money for that.

Wheels: in the pics you see Front (Mavic 521 on Dice Roulette) and mag 30 on sun ringle. I can also offer a different front (Mag 30 on Sun Ringle hub) for the same price.
All wheels are straight and true and will last a hell of a long time.

I have a large array of tyres I can throw in as well, depending on what you want - Minions, High Roller, Geax Lobo Loco, Kendas etc.

I have also got a spare e13 LG1 (see pics) that i can include if you want for additional $$ and saint cranks as well including bb. The saint cranks have a bit of play in them though ie if i am riding left foot forward for a while and then ride right foot forward, as i turn the pedal i feel a minor "clunk" in the swap. I cant isolate the problem and they never failed on me but i dont know what it is.

The bike is a medium - I am 6'4" but i think it is a bit small for my size, Id recommend it for maybe 6'3" down to as small as you want. The bike has 180mm of travel and is supposed to be a do-it-all bike. Personally I never rode it much because i have an XC and a DH bike - they are both better at what they do. This bike is great as a do it all, and thats what i used it for - if i could only take one bike. but dont think its easy to pedal up the hills, its not really, you just grind until the top and then hammer down. Its pretty good down hill and feels (and is!) very slack. In fact, if i didnt have a DH bike i would race it. Its pretty good in terms of weight as well but ive never measured it.

I can get more pics for anyone that wants them, or feel free to pm me for more info, or to come and test ride. im around the traps a fair bit so can take it out for you to test ride.

Head angle 66deg TT(E) 590mm BB 363 (14.2") WB 1147mm CS 435mm SO 755mm (29.7") - see, dh spec?

Finally, i am more than happy to chop and change parts, for a change in pricing. Ive got lots of other stuff around as well so just ask. Ive done a few trades on here, if youre worried about security ill give you details of some guys ive dealt with for a reference.
