***I know that this isn't the typical forum for a trials bike, but we're all crazy nuts doing multisport and have lots of varied interests. And someone might have a kid who's more interested in this side of the human-propelled vehicle than a TT/road bike. Take a look. Someone wants this baby!***
My poor Planet X trials bike is depressed after sitting around the last 2 years collecting dust. This isn't the typical Planet X trials bike you'd see working a corner---she's got class and is beautiful. She sports a the Hawaiian paint scheme, has an all black Planet X trials fork, has a full custom build by a professional bike shop mechanic
(me
), and has custom laced wheels. She's had $1800 in upgrades and has many years of love and life left in her. I love this bike, but every relationship comes to its end and we've had an amicable break-up; she just needs new love. She sports the usual trials bike wear---scratched cranks, bashguard, and chainstay but she's in fantastic condition and has years of life left.
Asking $600 obo. I'm located in Kalamazoo, Michigan, so probably inconvenient to meet up anywhere but am able to ship. I'll ship through the bike shop I wrench at and will professionally box/package/ship it. Shipping will be actual shipping costs at my shop-reduced rate. Paypal, through a confirmed account, is the preferred method of payment.
