Can I get some more info and photos of this please fella?
It's the right size and seems to be exactly what I'm looking for but if you can tell me:
1. What years model is it?
2. Exactly what condition is it all in?
3. What components is it sporting (incl. geared bits)?
4. Are all of the bits to make it geared in good nick?
5. What are you replacing it with (and why)?
6. If you've got a load more photos then send them to me (simplegairy - at - gmail - dot - com).
Let me know as my life's going to be changing pretty soon and a fat-bike is quite likely to receive wife-approval and this seems a better option than a new on-one (I've not got a large budget).
Condition is very good bordering on excellent .. a few cable rub marks but its only been ridden a handful of times.
All geared parts are unused and as per original spec in link.
I will be replacing it with a carbon beargrease .. not available yet but will be getting it in a few months time ish and between now and then I am training on and racing my El Mariachi singlespeed.
Definitely still interested but need to do a little asking around (quite likely just on here and a mate I know) to see if people think that this is the right option for me (as I know next to nothing about fat bikes).
I also need to see if the finances will stretch that far at this point (as I was thinking that an On-one would be the cheapest option but wouldn't have bought it until late autumn).
If you find time to take more photos then great, email 'em on over otherwise I'll be in touch.....
Now reduced to a 'bearbones' price of £750 ... no rack, bottle cages or gears included now .. just as seen as a singlespeed with Salsa 32t front ring and velosolo 16t rear ring and spacer kit.
I was going to email you saying that talks with the Mrs had broken down due to irreconcilable differences over issues of price and timing (she wants me to spend less and wait until we've moved house).
But.....this price drop puts a whole new slant on things!
I've already got a bunch of components which would enable me to re-gear the bike (will 'regular' mechs/shifters work?) and so am not put off by the single-speedness at all.
You've already mentioned that you'd rather it was picked-up from Newcastle but that's going to prove tricky from France and so do you have any idea what sort of money it'd cost to get the thing shipped out here?
Let me know about the above and maybe it can happen!
Know anyone coming from the UK to near you ?? Could always fire up messages on a few forums see if anyone is coming your way as assume cost of shipping may put it beyond your wifes acceptable limit :)
