@dandello are you saying it has been in an accident then when you say the forks have been slammed ??

 

[dandello]

No not at all the top of the forks have been cut for more of an aggressive geometery hence no head spacers fitted more like a tarmac now instead of relaxed ride

Did you buy it second hand then?

It's a bike built with relaxed geometry that no longer has relaxed geometry, that is why it is not selling.

I've never sold a bike on here, while I have on eBay, simply a much bigger audience. Although if unwilling to post, you much reduce your potential buyer pool, especially as you are not in a high population area, nor one that is especially accessible

I don't understand why Giant can't source you a fork, did you phone the Cambridge Giant store?. I realise it'll cost some money but so will selling and buying, and if it's the right bike in other ways, take the hit assume you've tried flipping the stem etc?

I think people aren't generally keen on buying something that has been tinkered with, especially by someone other than the seller. Why did the previous owner sell it on so quickly out of interest?

It doesn't look to be slammed compared to the stock pictures? How much was taken off the steerer tube? How many spacers removed? http://www.paulscycles.co.uk/m7b0s6p6391/GIANT-DEFY-ADVANCED-3-2015
