Description
Custom built in summer 2004 to current specification (see below). Ideal all-rounder, but built strong enough for heavy-duty use. Geometry would be perfect for long-travel single-crown fork (Marzocchi Dirt Jumper etc.), currently fitted with straight-blade rigid fork. Full Shimano 27-speed drivetrain, but not currently fitted with a front mech (left-hand shifter and cable included). Medium frame size (actual geometry listed below). £750 ono
