Item: Cheapish XC bike to do a few races on over summer
Location: Geelong/Melb (will pay freight on right deal)
Price range/Willing to Pay: about $1200 is my limit
Extra Info:
Ideally a old mid spec 26 hardtail like a late generation 26 XTC advanced or maybe a Cannondale Caffine (lefty would be cool)
will consider some new 29ers but don't think my budget will stretch,
let me know what you have and we can talk $$

Hmm, I could be persuaded to offload my hardtail around that mark...

I've got a 2005 Salsa Juan Solo frame. 20". Has an eccentric BB for single speed, but you can put a derailleur hanger on it. V-brake/Disc Scandium tubes with carbon stays. Really crazy light.

Can do frame/EBB/headset/Seat clamp/Post/Saddle for like $200 + post. Can provide other parts too.

I had it built with v-brakes, a heavy Tora 318 fork, and nothing else super spesh. And it still came in under 10kgs.

Thinking of moving my merida 96 on, suspension needs a service (but you should be right with that) its running 3x9 speed, and I need my race wheels that are on it currently. Cheap though.
