Sherpa 535L

[Andyb1]

Sadly for sale, as it has been a good bike, but replaced with Raven.

I am about 5ft 8 1/2” and it fits me well so should fit 5ft 7” - 5ft 10”?

- Grey frame and forks, a few light scratches but nothing bad and still looks smart.
- Deore LX front and rear mechs and quick shift triggers give slick changes on the Shimano MTB 42/34/24 and 11/32 9 speed cassette.
- Marathon plus 40mm tyres, about 2 years old, part worn, presta valves, deore Q/R skewers.
- Shimano DX flat pedals
- Terry Liberator saddle
- Ridgeback rear rack rated to 18kg
- 2 x water bottle holders fitted, comes with a third
- flat bars with Ergon grips and bar ends

Owned for 2 years.   When I bought it I fitted new cables, brake blocks, front wheel bearings and cones, bottom bracket, lower headset bearing.  I have ridden it around 1600 miles including 1000 miles on tour in India.  New chain before I went and another on my return, 100 miles ago, and all checked through.

Also available with bike
- original Deore crankset but 2 x rings are worn

Plus there are some other bits and pieces

£400

That’s a great prospect for some lucky person. For comparison there’s at least two Sherpas on the SJS site but they’re new so more expensive.

I hope that is a fair price.  It is now well set up and ready to do some miles.  No doubt a new owner might fine tune it to their requirements with their own saddle or pedals, but the ones with it are good quality.
Thing is, most if not all reading this will already have something similar!
