    Would a hybrid bike not be more suitable,straight bars and narrower tyres than a mountain bike!
    Something like a Giant Rapid?

    Yeh, possibly, thinking of a bit of off road too though - open to any offers though

    Looking to swap / trade my road bike for a mountain bike - just a bit too old to get on with drop bars these days and just prefer a mountain bike lol

    The road bike is a Cube Axial WLS Pro Disc, great condition with just a couple of small marks.

    Just been serviced and had a new chain and tyres fitted, full spec is here:

    https://ibb.co/rwJWSGB

    Looking for a mountain bike, no bigger than a 16" frame, happy with a bit of cash either way depending on what you have

    The bike has a 50cm frame, and around a €400-450 price tag.


    Quick bump,



    Happy to sell if no swaps are available, this bike is immaculate apart from a couple of small paint chips, with new tyres and chain, I also have the old road tyres too that have plenty of life left in them.


    Cheapest new bike price was £800 (€880) and looking to trade still, or for €400 ono

    I might be interested in swapping you for a Cannondale F29.

    It's a small, about a 15.5" frame.

    Bought in 2014. Running perfectly. Some scratches on frame.

    90mm travel on a lefty fork with tubeless wheels.

    It has been upgraded to 1x11 with shimano slx and xt brakes.

    It has carbon bars and a leonardi stem.

    It has new WTB nano tyres and a new bottom bracket.

    I cant seem to get a picture uploaded but it looks like this one:

    I'm interested in either a swap for a Trek 7.1 or a purchase.
    What height is the size suitable for?
    Thanks.

    Is the trek 7.1 a hybrid? Height wise I’m 5’4”, so this would fit around the 5’2 to 5’6 I’d guess.

    Thanks for the offer but not interested in a hybrid unfortunately - will do a decent price on the Cube though, I’m not long In the leg so it’ll fit you fine
