This was bought as a bare but unused (or very lightly used) frame on ebay two years ago and built up with parts and spares as a commuter/relaxation bike. Did a Sydney/Gong ride comfortably, would handle a rail trail or path with ease with the 28’s. The geometry just doesn’t seem to suit me, it doesn’t see enough use, plus I’m rethinking my commuting status.

If you're under 6', this will probably be too big.

Pick up and/or inspection in Cromer on weekends, or I can send you some detailed pictures if you want them. Link in sig. to Avanti for pic.

See last post...offers time...

Alright...this bike is taking up room, is being significantly under-utilised, and I cant leave it in my office forever.

I'm now open to offers for this bike. PM me!

The worst I can do is say no.

What is it with people? 18 watchers on ebay for 7 days and no biters...well, frankly, they're all 'biters'...fark me...

Hey Jim, I would love this bike... but not the right time for me to be buying...


However, I just sold my Avanti mountain bike via gumtree - sold in 1 day and had a lot of inquiries.

Its free to advertise, so can't hurt if no members here are interested in it.

Cheers,
