I am selling this bike for a neighbor. Her brother was a professional cyclist (Andy Bishop) and gave her this bike as a gift. When she got it it was the top of the line. She has arthritis/hand problems and hasn't ridden it hardly at all. All the components are in GREAT shape and my husband just gave the whole bike a good cleaning and tune up.
It's a 14.5 inch (small) frame made of of 6061 aluminum alloy tubes that are double butted and heat treated for added strength and lower weight. The component spec is all very high end 8 speed shimano: XT rear derailleur, LX front derailleur and shifters. Avid SD levers and brakes stop wheels built with gary fisher (front) and shimano parallax (rear) hubs laced to bontrager rims. The WTB saddle is the original and is color-matched to the yellow and black paint scheme. The front fork is a classic rock shox indy, also color matched to the frame.
Included in the sale, you will get a NOS Gary Fisher brand metal floor pump (presta valve only), as well as a pair of NOS red ICON spd clipless pedals and cleats.
I would keep this bike for myself but for the fact that I am broke and it is a bit too small for me, that's how cool it is. At $450, this is a sweet deal for a high end, practically new hardtail.
