HI Emaroid!

Welcome to the Forum and best of luck with the sale of your Enduro. You've done a wonderful job putting it all together and it looks fantstic in the photos.

I have a feeling this one may not last too long before it is sold.

Best,

Dan.

Hi Dan

Thanks for the reply and the welcome.

The enduro is lovely, I've only ridden it in the street to test setup and shakedown. I love how easy it is to setup with a rohloff. I've built a few rohloff bikes but this was one of the easiest.

I realised it was never going happen with the misses, and the way my workload is changing so worth someone getting a bargain, otherwise it will sit in the house along with my other mtb bikes that I barely get time to ride.

Sorry for any confusion.

Hello,
Thank you for your kind help.
Unfortunately to big...my search continues.
Wishing you well with the sale
Regards,
Steve

Any interest? I'd take £1,800 for it.

Don't want the hassle of ebaying it and getting silly questions like would I post it to Nigeria.

New frame with rohloff is £1630 so this is a bargain!
