The bike is a 2016 model purchased in 2017 (have receipt) and has done less than 50 miles since 2018. It has been stored inside in a smoke free home. The Link is for Tredz but the original retailer is Winstanleys in Wigan.

It's capable even in the Yorkshire hills, I changed the rear cassette from 18t to 23t to give me a lower gear (original is included if you want to change back). The bike was serviced locally shortly before being mothballed. Seat and tyres are original with <50 miles on them. Brake pads were replaced at service. There are some small scratches on the top tube/down tube, the rear brake appears to need a fluid top up as it will depress to the bar (but does hold the wheel), otherwise in good condition.

Questions

Its a new frame, the original frame developed a fault and was replaced under warranty. The yellow replaced it and same fault has not occured.

Do I need anything special for the hub gear?
Pedal Spanner to remove wheel and a hub tool to rotate the BB to keep chain tension (see below)

Why did you stop riding it?
Bought a different bike as my tastes changed.

Why are you selling?
I'm downsizing and after 4 years sat idle it's time to move it on.

Where are you?
Kirklees, West Yorkshire close to M62 J25.

My wife has the same bike, Ridgeback flight 04, but blue.

An excellent bike, the eccentric bottom bracket that's fitted makes adjusting the chain tension very easy. Nice :okay:
