Here’s some photos and specs for the final two bikes we have for sale. They’re pretty much identical so both are going for €1,700 euros each.
They have been part of our hire bike fleet this summer, and have been out for about 20 days each. They have been coated in frame tape and inner tubes all summer long, so have barely a scratch. There’s certainly no damage of note on either bikes. We serviced the forks this weekend and found nothing but clean fork oil in there.
Specs as follows:
Medium Heckler Frames - Black Anodised - a very tough finish - these bikes will look like new apart from the odd bit of cable rub.
150mm travel supplied by a 2009 Fox Float RP23 shock.
RockShox Pike 454 Dual Air U-Turn (110-140mm travel)
One has a Syncross post, the other has a WTB post.
Truvativ Hussefelt stem
Funn Fatboy 710mm bars
SRAM X7 shifters
SRAM X9 rear mech
Shimano SLX front mech
Truvativ BB + Chainset (2 rings plus bashguard)
Avid Juicy 5 brakes
WTB 20mm bolt through front hub / Shimano XT rear hub - Mavic 321 Rims
Syncross Headset
SRAM Cassette
They will have new Maxxis tyres put on before sale.
Pedals not included.

Now I've had the Blue Pig for a month now, I though it would be a good time to post an update..
Impressions are very good to say the least. The bike has been able to handle most things I can throw at it. It's been on epic two day rides in to the back of beyond. It's been on quick blasts around here (Morzine) when I've not had the time to ride all day. It's most at home on the Techy stuff - switchbacks are a personal favourite.
It has the ability to inspire confidence and know that the front will roll over stuff if you let it - not get stuck behind an obstacle and throw you off - that'd be the slack head angle then..
Climbing wise - I've not had to do too much of that yet - what with uplifts all around - but the climbs that I have done it's been me rather than the bike that's faltered. It goes up a lot more confidently than most hard tails I've ridden. The front end does wander a bit on the real steep stuff - But then I do have some 160mm forks on there - right on the limit for this frame.
And most importantly - it's never felt out of it's depth around here.
Current spec in order of importance is:
Fox 36 Van R
Dual Ply Minions
Short stem
Big wide bar
Some round(ish) wheels
Some brakes that stop
Some gears that go
I'd like to get a hammershmidttdddddttt on there - but it needs some ISCG mounts and some more money in my bank account before that happens! Failing that a blackspire stinger to keep the chain in check.
