Soon close to being a "runner"...and for the price, a heckuva deal if you've got a spare set of wheels.
On second thought, an unbelievably low price.... ???
Best,
Dan.

I noticed that several had actually put offers in on this and decided that the lag involved wasn't a good idea. ;)
Rides nicely... just need to replace the gear cables as its 8 years old and there is a bit of drag in them now.
Feels quite short in body - can anyone identify this frame from the image? I'm presuming the Mk2 was not as long a top tube as the Mk3 perhaps?
I'd like to feel a bit more planted when descending but presume that further extending the steerer or raking the bars forward won't help with balance...

pondweed if it's 8 years old it was probably originally for drops
2010 they introduced new sizes for straight bars
dunno if these pics will show up as they are png not jpg

thanks Bill! Yes, had been perusing those. Just found code 535L 0702 (it came with straights) and presently running with 125 stem and 1.25 tyres.
Danneaux - your posting somewhere in technical on high and low 'trail' is very good thanks and i'm sure has something to do with what I need to get to the bottom of. Just need to keep reading it!
