Hi Guys,
Sadly, my pride and joy is up for sale.
Purchased during mid-2010, this bike has seen a lot less use than it should have. Primarily ridden around the local streets as a means of sprint training for XC and road, the only rough terrain being flowy 4x courses, moderately-sized DJs, a handful of sessions at the local skate park, and no more than a dozen runs down Cressy.
This will be a very regretful sale one day, but year 12 is now here and my only time spent riding this year will be on the XC and road bikes.
Bike is in great condition, used but not abused.
In terms of cosmetic wear, no protective film was ever really applied to the frame - so it does have its fair share of scuffs and rub marks from the cables and transport.
However, most the parts are very close new and look superb.
Mechanically, the only point I can make is wear in the shock bushings - thus leaving a slight amount of play (not noticeable at all when riding). These are easily sourced through most bike shops.
Location: Williamstown 3016, Western Suburbs of Melbourne.
Price and conditions: $1250
Postage: Would rather pickup, but will do postage if buyer is willing to pay.
By the way, this frame is a medium. I'm a smidge over 6'1" and it feels sweet as!
Spec list.

Extra info:
Brake rotors are 8" Hope SAWs that have been polished silver. Will supply with two spare Avid 8" rotors that are in very good condition.
Oh, and I'll throw in the original rear wheel for free. Sun Ringle Equalizer 29 laced to a beautiful Sun DirtyFlea hub with white spokes. Some scratches, little use.
If you have any questions feel free to PM me and I can give you my mobile number too.
Cheers, Brad
