Depends on the person buying, as I say cheap enough brand new. But if you have all the original receipts etc and it's as mint as you say someone may see it as a bargain. But others might think "I may as well buy a new one for a bit more" if you see what I mean.

speaking to a mate of mine actually who does enduro racing in south america about the slack chain on my bike jim. he says thats actually better for dh stuff as its more aerodynamic so should speed me up for strava times.

useful info and people to know. he text me from a helicopter.

Added another link, chain is sloppy but it does seem faster down the hills which is coolZ. New stem and bars to fit in the next few days, looking forward to it. Typically I'm away on the weekend with the girlfriend so no bike until next weekend unless you fancy a mid week run jim

Had my mate from superstar components make me some custom coloured grips to match my bike. Pretty smart they are as well.

Bought a proper tool for my shock business. Most smaller independents hand bleed shocks and FIT/Charger dampers which is ok but time consuming to get a good bleed.

I have just taken delivery of this:

And got the first shock straight on it:

Its amazing, less mess and more consistent results.

Next up will be a parts washer.

Red industries or Ro Zone I would guess?

I am buying stuff for my business outright rather than renting, that way I own it all and I am not contracted to £X amount of monthly rental on a new start up company.
