cheeky cunt aren't I? if you don't ask you dont get!


Well that one was a 2008 Epic Expert. We still have our 2007 Epic Expert there aswell just lying around not doing much

i used to drool over that bike in our local shop. i guess it's in top condition then? how much could you get me that for?


Well its in ok condition, all working and everything. I "borrowed" a few bits for my bike off it

Just like mine, it hasnt been used for a while, so its nice and muddy, needs some new tubes etc. But after a clean up it would look exactly like mine (appart from its an amber/orange colour!)

What size are you? Its a medium. And im really not sure, the boss has nice days and has bad ones! Maybe arround £600 if you are lucky!

I used to use Nokian mud tyres that were so tough they could be used at 8 psi. Not too good if you want to rid the bike up a hill because they were a bit heavy

Will sort some pics of my relic this week.
It's a GT Timberline FS in Team Scream colours.
Around 13 years old from memory...

Bloody nice bikes, have rode one before. They can climb just as good as they can come back down.

We are a Lapierre dealer, we have the new one in with the carbon rear end such a nice bike!

Pretty much what you see. Its hard because the manager is seriously tight. We only get 20% off ourselves, we used to get trade but he decided he wants to make money off his staff, lovely.

Thats a bit harsh on the staff. I have a mate that works in a bike shop and he gets everything trade. Thats where I got my current one from

He only sells Scott, Kona & Gary Fisher really thats the problem... dont really want any of their offerings
