SOLD: Whyte Cambridge Hybrid 2011 Medium (men's/unisex)

[vickster]

Following an impulsive purchase of N+1, my 2011 Whyte Cambridge Hybrid (in white) is for sale. I've done under 1500 sub/urban miles on it, about 95%+ of which in the dry. I bought it barely used a couple of years ago

In pretty decent condition, but there are a few marks and chips on the matt white paintwork, just one of those things with such a paint finish unfortunately

It looks like this (albeit with a rack and mudguards)...

It's a medium.
Whyte say the medium fits 5'8-5'11 or so (can download size guide here) http://whyte.bike/help/content/2/17/en/whyte-sizing-guide.html. Now I'm a smidge under 5'10 and I find it a bit small for me. It has a mountain bike type geometry, lots of seatpost showing with my long legs!

Full spec

The Whyte Cambridge 2011 Hybrid Bike has a long wheelbase and relaxed head angle for high speed stability, and a shorter stem for excellent slow speed manoeuvrability.

Vickster has most excellent legs, lean and muscly; adorned by the marks of her mishaps.

The bike is excellent also. It will make it's next owner very happy.

 

[vickster]

Bump, any interest?

My legs not included as I need them!

@vickster
Let me have a look in my piggy bank. My wife is asking if a lighter bike would be easier for her, I of course said yes but to be honest I doubt she would notice the difference. ;0)

 

[vickster]

Ok no probs, it is a nice light bike, especially without the rack

 

[vickster]

Here are some admittedly not great photos of the bike

Ridden last night and @biggs682 that saddle could still be a little higher for my long legs

 

[mythste]

This would literally be perfect for my better half - If it's still available at the end of August I'll come down and get it myself!

 

[mythste]

I also appreciate that the chance of such a great deal being available at the end of august is slim to none!

No worries, if it is still available no issue. I'm in no major hurry to sell as N+1 is still a drop bar roadbike

There is one other potentially interested party who PM'd me earlier FYI

[vickster]

Any sensible offers on this bearing in mind the asking price otherwise, come September I'll stick it on Gumtree

These Whyte R7 series bikes are a great ride. I had a test ride on one and it made my 6 week old Trek 7.2 FX disc look so bad I sold it. I didn't buy one as I switched to a road bike and bought used.
