EBAY CLICKY

Have a look folks, such a shame that I have to sell such an awesome and high spec bike.

Dunno why he's shouting, but here goes...

SCOTT GENIUS MC20 2006

UNFORTUNATELY DUE TO A RECURRING KNEE PROBLEM MY LITTLE USED (BUT MUCH LOVED.) GENIUS CARBON IS UP FOR AUCTION.

THE BIKE IS A 2006 MODEL PURCHASED IN LATE JAN 07 FOR £2700 AND HAS A HOST OF EXPENSIVE EXTRAS, I ESTIMATE THE TOTAL COST TO MYSELF AT BEING AROUND £3350.

IT REALLY IS GOING TO MAKE A GREAT BARGAIN HIGH END BIKE FOR SOME LUCKY PERSON.

THE GENIUS (ESPECIALLY THE CARBON MODELS.) RANGE IS RENOWNED FOR THEIR EXCELLENT TRAIL MANNERS ALONG WITH SUPERLIGHT WEIGHT AND REAL FLEXIBILITY WHEN THE GOING GETS STEEP- UP OR DOWN!

I HAVE USED THIS BIKE ONLY A HANDFULL OF TIMES AND ONLY ONCE OFF ROAD, AS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE BIKE IS IN SUPERB, IMMACULATE CONDITION WITHOUT SO MUCH AS A SCRATCH OR DENT.

SOME OF THE PARTS I UPGRADED FROM NEW INCLUDE-

07 XTR BRAKE LEVERS
07 XTR RAPIDFIRE SHIFTERS
07 XTR REAR MECH
07 XTR FRONT (203mm) AND REAR (185mm) CENTRELOCK DISCS
BONTRAGER CARBON FIBRE HANDLEBARS
FSA FORGED STEM
GOODRIDGE SINTERED (AMAZING PERFORMANCE.) BRAKE PADS
WTB WEIRWOLF TYRES (2.5) WITH SUPERLIGHT TUBES
AS STANDARD THE BIKE HAS ALL THE FOLLOWING SPECS-

FOX TALAS RL FORK WITH ADJUSTABLE PRELOAD, TRAVEL AND REBOUND 135mm TRAVEL
XT HOLLOWTECH 2 CHAINSET
XT FRONT MECH
XT REAR CASSETTE
XT BRAKE CALIPERS
MAVIC 317DISC RIMS ON DT SWISS SEALED HUBS WITH AERO (FLAT.) SPOKES
SELLE ITALIA SLR KEVLAR SEAT
SCOTT QUICK RELEASES (VERY NICE.), SEATPOST, FRAME PROTECTOR AND GRIPS.
IT IS SILVER AND NAKED CARBON ON THE MAIN FRAME (SEE PICS.) AND ALL BLACK ON THE SCANDIUM REAR TRIANGLE.

THE GENIUS SHOCK HAS 3 DIFFERENT TRAVEL OPTIONS ALL SELECTABLE FROM THE HANDLEBAR MOUNTED LEVER, FULL LOCKOUT FOR TARMAC USE, TRACTION CONTROL (90mm) FOR CLIMBING AND FULL TRAVEL (130mm) FOR DESCENDING.

THE RIDE IS REALLY SECONT TO NONE AND MY OFFROAD OUTING AT LLANDEGLA REALLY PROVED THIS, DESCENDING FASTER THAN A LOT OF LARGE TRAVEL FREERIDE BIKES WHILE WHIPPING UP THE HILLS LIKE THE XC RACER IT IS, SUPERB.

AS PREVIOUSLY MENTIONED MY REASON FOR SALE IS MY GAMMY KNEE THAT HAS BEEN TROUBLING ME FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW, REAL SHAME TO SEE IT GO BUT I'M JUST NOT ABLE TO USE IT I'M AFRAID.

EXCELLENT BARGAIN FOR SOMEONE THOUGH.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO COME VIEW THE BIKE AND IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK AWAY.

THE BIKE IS ADVERTISED ELSEWHERE SO I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY.

CASH ON COLLECTION PREFFERED ALTHOUGH I CAN POSSIBLY POST.
