I could have something that might suit. Do you have an idea on bike size? Whats your budget?

I think 18", I fall between a 54 and 56 on road bikes. 5ft 10/11 .
Regarding budget, On a second hand bike I don't want to spend more then 1,000Euro as I can get a suitable new bike for close to that amount.

Richie,

Any chance of organising a viewing?

madrichie

Yep, no problem, will drop you a PM now.

Feel free to call over for a viewing some evening, it needs a service and a clean, a little neglected as I've been concentrating on the road biking the last few months, but otherwise its in great condition... I paid 1449 euros from cycleways Dublin last February... spec...

I've a Ragley TD-1, it's a Rigid Specific 29er Titanium Frame Medium with On One Style Carbon forks. It's an XC racer but you need to pick your lines. I've been using it for 6 months but mainly with slicks on the road as I'm now more into Trail riding. Would part with it grudgingly for €1000 not a penny less. Also it's a simple build 1x9 could change it to 1x10 and comes with Bontrager Rhythm Wheels.

Thanks for the reply. Its a stunning bike, but not what I am looking for.

Any interest in a Kona Nunu..Hardtail, about 9-10 yr old, very well specced, would be around the 4/500 euro or so..
