Up for sale is my Giant XTC Advanced 29 1 (2020 model) in size XL – a super-capable, lightweight carbon hardtail frame perfect for XC riding and adventure-ready bikepacking. The geometry is spot-on for long days in the saddle while still being responsive and efficient for singletrack and climbs. Used but 100% structurally sound – ready for your next build. Cosmetic chips & paint marks present from normal use, as you’d expect from an adventure-focused frame, but nothing that affects performance or integrity. This frame has been looked after and stored carefully when not in use. Sram DUB Pressfit bottom bracket (installed – only 6 months old). Stock c arbon seat post. Used mech hanger (6 months old) + Brand new spare hanger (never used). Stock Giant headset (included – good condition). XL – Ideal for riders approx. 6’2″ – 6’5″ (but check Giant’s sizing guide to be sure). I’m 6’5 and it was perfect. Why the XTC Advanced? Full Advanced-grade carbon composite construction. 29er geometry built for speed, control, and all-day comfort. Internal cable routing for a clean setup. Tapered headtube and boost rear spacing for stiffness and future-proofing. This is an ideal frame for anyone looking to build a fast, lightweight, and durable MTB – whether it’s for racing XC, long-distance bikepacking, or weekend singletrack missions. Don’t hesitate to ask – happy to help!

Brother Cycles Big Bro bike steel frame. Designed for both 29er or 27.5+ tyres. Includes frame, forks, integrated headset, Thomson seat post and two sets of rear axle mounts (one for thru axle, one for quick release). Great full rigid bike frame ideal for bike packing, general off road riding and adventure biking. Barely used so looks virtually new, just a couple of small chips in fairly discreet places (tried to show some in the pictures). No dings, dents or other damage. This pink frame is now discontinued and has been replaced by fairly generic colours- a shame as it looks amazing.

My husband’s bikepacking dream for 2021 has died before he’s got it off the ground so this lovely Fargo frameset plus extras is for sale. It is a size Small. Work commitments and personal circumstances mean that he’s not going to be able to build this up as planned for a trip or two next year, a situation not helped by the pandemic. He bought this fantastic Fargo frameset from the first owner who had very carefully ridden it and looked after it’s every need. It’s had an easy life as can be seen from the condition of the frame in the photographs with only the lightest of marks to speak of. Also included is the (very expensive) carbon Firestarter fork, an Alternator rack specific to Salsa’s bikes with the attaching rods cut to size to fit the Fargo by the previous owner, a new 80mm Salsa Guide alloy stem and a used Salsa Guide alloy seatpost as well as new set of Alternator dropouts which have been fitted to accommodate the 142mm spacing on the Hunt Trail Wide 27.5 wheelset that is seen in the photos. The normal set up for the dropouts is 148mm. The frameset is designed to take 27.5 x 3″ tyres or 29″ by 2.4 tyres. The only thing not included in the listing is the pair of Hunt Trail Wide wheels. They are available if required – please contact for details. However, please bear in mind that the bike has the non-boost fork and is designed around 27.5+ geometry. Salsa specify not to go lower on the BB than 2.8″ tyres so the 2.4″ ones shown on the Hunt wheels would not be suitable. However, Hunt do say on their website that their 30mm inner rim Trail Wide wheels will accept up to 2.8 tyres. The fork is non-boost unlike the very latest model so this might limit your wheel options which might make the Hunt’s an attractive proposition. They are in very good order apart from marks commensurate with use and a small ding on the rear which does not affect rideability. Any questions, please ask.
