For Sale: Amazing Value Used S-Works Safire

[Wahine]

Moonbeam Needs a New Home

I love this bike. We’ve covered many miles and conquered many races together. She made me fall in love with mountain biking again after about 10 years away from it. But alas, as with many great relationships, we have grown apart. My racing aspirations have evolved and she’s no longer the right bike for the job. So as much as it saddens me to sell her, it would sadden me more to think of her hanging on a hook in my garage, never getting to go out to play. So here it is…

Wear: Make no mistake, this bike has been ridden a lot. But it’s also been very well loved and maintained. This was my cross country racing bike for the last 3 seasons and it was rarely ridden in anything but dry conditions. I have a “mud bike” for that. But there are many scuffs and blemishes on the bike, all of it cosmetic and not visible unless you’re looking closely. I would call the appearance of this bike 15 foot showroom quality.

I would be happy to answer questions about the bike or provide more photos on request.
