BIG BLUE Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 Frame is medium, but I would describe it as a large medium as I am over 6ft tall and feel comfortable on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG BLUE Posted May 7, 2008 Author Share Posted May 7, 2008 I would be looking for £700 - dread to think what I spent on it, but the brakes, wheels and forks were more than the asking price alone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heckler Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I am also interested in knowig this I have an Idea, but dont want to "get in the way of the thread" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG BLUE Posted May 8, 2008 Author Share Posted May 8, 2008 I reckon the frame has got to be about 8 years old and the forks about 5 or 6 at least. These were all refurb'd and are mint. The rest of the parts are under a year old. If someone is genuinely interested, then give me a shout. I only added it to this forum because it is free, I would say I am better to split the bike and sell the parts on ebay to return a fair price. If someone is going to offer me £200 or something stupid I would much rather keep it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grahamc Posted May 8, 2008 Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was interested... but purely because of the age I am not. The bike I have been looking at for a while is a specialised at Evans and is selling for £1199... Brand new. Makes more sense for to get that honestly. Agree, might be more worthwhile to break and sell. Good luck with the sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to strip my Gary Fisher F2 down and do that matt black/silver combo too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
