Swap one hobby for another.

Just testing the water here.
I'm looking to get back into airsoft.
So I'm hoping somebody might be interested in a trade for something different.

I have a Cannondale F5 cross country bike for trade.
It's in excellent condition, and has a mind blowing spec.

Full XT drive train ( chain and block just replaced )
Hope M2 brakes.
Crank brothers cobalt three wheelset, set up tubeless on brand new continental tyres.
Carbon fibre lefty fork, serviced by push in UK.
Thompson elite seat post.
Easton Carbon riser bars.
This bike even has the built in tool kit( rare item these days ).

Bike is valued at about 550 - 600.

Size is XL but Cannondale sizing is kind of strange.
This frame measures in at 20", which makes it a large (going by other manufacturers ).
Would suite anybody between 5'11 and 6'4.


I'm just wondering if perhaps somebody is looking at getting back into MTB.


And perhaps has comparable quality AEG that they would consider trading.

I'm based in Tallaght.
And yes, they are hydraulic.
Monster stopping power.

I'd certainly consider the right CQB piece.
Needs to be something fairly special though.

Tm p90 with three mags,silencer,hard carry case,battery/charger,and it was just serviced and has new gears and tappet plate

hairyman

Oh man, I love TM.

Sadly, the P90 is not for me.

murray.eoghan

no bother. What are you looking for then ?

hairyman

Cqb wise, I'd be interested in a 552.
G&G/Ares ump 45.
Any metal bodied MP5.

Would love a a CA SA58 OSW ( rocking horse ****e )
Would also consider any of the more unusual bullpup designs.
Type 95/97, or anything from Real Sword.

Sounds like I'm asking a lot but this is a lot of bike.

I know what you mean, i just spent over 1200euro on two giant talons

Hi, what condition is the front suspension in? You said it was rebuilt - just wondering when? Any other issues with it ? Thanks.

hairyman

Lovely bikes, I've a few bikes myself.
Don't get to use them as much as I'd like to.

Sorry man.
Only seeing this post now.
Fork is in great condition, lockout and rebound are working perfectly.
Travel is nice and plush.
Fork was serviced not more than a year ago ( stamp on the fork clamp to prove it)
Lefty forks have a far longer service interval than a high end Fox or RS.
They don't use complex baths or bladders, and instead use a needle bearing system.
Makes for an unbelievably stiff fork, with long service intervals.

Only thing this bike could do with ( and it's not in desperate need of it ) is perhaps new headset bearings.
If I had a serious offer on the bike, then I would happily do the bearings.
But like I said, they are in pretty good order as is.

Thanks for the reply. I have a Real Sword Type 97 with a load of extra bits. Still in original box with manuals, gun oil, tools etc. also come with some spare internal components - new wiring loom, tappet plate, some gears I think too. It's all original and never been messed with.
There's 4 RS mags and a sling, picatinny rail, some other bits too - have to check when I get back home.
Also has a couple of batteries - nicd and lipo which fits in the grip.
I can't post pics due to spam restrictions.

I'd be very interested in this.

Hi again
Sorry for the delay in replying but I'm travelling a lot just at the moment.
What's the best way forward?

We can provisionally agree a trade on thread to allow a closer look on both parts. I'm only 25 mins from you and could drop up over the next few days if suitable to you etc.

hairyman

Yep, provisionally agreed it is.
Let me know when it suits to meet up.
