Decathlon (Now marketed as B'Twin) EXTRA-LARGE hybrid gents bike in excellent condition.
This bike has had a full workshop service involving complete strip-down, cleaning of all non-sealed bearings and bearing surfaces including headset and both wheels, being professionally re-assembled. Wheels checked and trued on a workshop stand, and new cables used in the rebuild. Rear derailleur dismantled and cleaned, everything re-lubricated using good quality Pennine lithium grease and TF2 cycle lubes.
I normally test-ride all bikes before sale - due to the size I am unable to do this (however all work has been carried out on a workshop stand) so I will also offer a FREE service after 4-8 weeks, the same as you would expect if you were buying a new bike - that way if any little niggles / adjustment tweaks become necessarily you'll be covered
This is IMPORTANT. This is an EXTRA LARGE bike and is also fitted with a suspension seatpost which adds further height - it is absolutely impossible for me at 5'9" to even attempt to ride it so please consider this bike as only for very tall riders
A 24-speed gear system with freehub rear wheel and details such as a light alloy stem and handlebar make this great for hills - this bike would make a super daily commuter or used as it has been before - as a leisure bike for country road and trails - 700 x 38 trail tyres are well suited for tracks such as around Ladybower / Derwent Valley, or along the Monsal Trail
The bike has a couple of minor scratches - nothing much and less than most old-school bikes of this era - they are pictured in the photos and have been treated with Kurust to seal against rust.
