I'll probably regret this but here we go....
Large Singular Swift
Alfine 8 with Rapidfire shifter
Halo Freedom Disc rims and Hope Pro 2 front hub
XT Cranks
Recent BB & Chain
Bontrager RL/Select bars & stem
FSA Seatpost & Specialized saddle
DMR Grips
Halo twin-rails tyres
Magura Louise Carbon brakes w. recent pads
Hope Headset
Few bits of peeling lacquer, cable rub, etc as to be expected from a used bike but still a thing of beauty. Chain, BB and brake pads recently changed. EBB & grub screws coated with anti-seize so smooth in operation. Something has to go before I can tell SWMBO that I'm thinking about a fat bike.
Looking in the STW classifieds £675 ono seems a fair price. Collection from Suffolk is fine and I'm happy to box up if you want to arrange a courier.
Any questions best to email me j464ubh AT Hotmail.com
Cheers.

Lovely bike. Shame to be selling it but I know the feeling. SWMBO in my place has installed a "one in, one out" policy. What are you thinking re a fat bike? I'm a recent convert with a new On One Fatty moving in last week. It's brilliant fun and rides a lot lighter and is more agile than I imagined it would be. Suspect my other bikes will get a lot less attention now ...

The on-one is very tempting but so are the reduced Mukluk frames from Triton. Problem is that sourcing Fat-specific bits isn't cheap/easy which makes the On-one an "easy" option. I'm kicking myself I didn't go for a fatty in November. Who'd have thought it'd have so much use in snow?!

Mukluk frameset for just over £300 sounds like the bargain of the century. Good luck with the sale and the fat build.
