Hey Guys,

No doubt some of you have seen this on ebay this week and have wondered about it. Unfortunately, due to reasons beyond my control I've been forced to put my show bike up for sale. I thought it was only right that she ended up in the hands of a collector.

I think she's beautiful! She's been extensively (but sensibly) restored and upgraded, and now is a real lightwieght flyer at around 25lbs! So here it is, really the last hurrah for her! I hope that you enjoy the picutres as much as I've enjoyed owning and restoring her.

If you fancy her for yourself then please check out the link to the ebay auction, however I'd rather you just enjoyed her for what she is... my baby!

It's a shame you have to sell her. You've done a great job putting it together. Hope the sale goes well for you and you get a good price and she goes to a good home. Hey I'm pretty new to mountain biking but I bought one of these frames from Evan in Aust to build up and I want to look after the frame. Where do you get the frame guards you have on your bike from and what's their proper name? Thanks Mark

The company is Xion and they come from Germany, they're pretty rare part to be honest. Not a clue where you could get one- I got mine from eBay a while back for around £30. They are full carbon and weigh around 20gr.
