If you're considering selling the Loop separately I'd be very interested!?

[Stevemorg]

If you end up splitting I may be interested in the wheels

[Mariner]

OK £950 free P&P UK mainland.

Your chance to acquire a 29er+ in excellent condition at knock down price.
I need the space before new bike arrives.

MussEd - maybe.
Stevemorg - no but you could buy it keep the wheels and sell on the other bits.

What are you replacing it with?

My ideal bike of course but that may not be your or anyone elses ideal bike.
I am going N-2 so bike has to fulfill three functions from off road hack and weekend/long distance off road tourer to shopping special.
Steel frame, full set of braze ons, 3 x n, 29er with 40ish mm rims so I have a wide choice of tyre width, mech discs and not powder blue.
Prefer off the shelf complete rather than custom build but it could go either way.
Getting a bit old now and I take longer to repair and offs hurt more so flat out performance no longer high on my list - unless there is no one about. Which reminds me must get hack rear hydraulic fixed or death certificate will give cause of death as brake failure.

We are getting close to new season bikes that will wait and see what 2016 brings unless they are clearing 2015 stock.

I know what I will probably go for any other suggestions?

Surly ECR or genesis longitude sound about right?

[wfbroddy]

I have both the ECR and longitude,

Both cracking bikes, that fit the bill worth trying them out if possible as they have different top tube lengths which give different rides IMHO

What sizes are you riding?
Can't find either locally in the larger sizes, I'm around 6ft4 :(

[wfbroddy]

My sizing is the opposite being 5'8"

The Longitude is a 16" and the ECR is a medium (I'm right at the upper limit for small and lower limit of a medium for Surly but wanted the bigger frame triangle for a bigger framebag)

PS sorry to Mariner for the slight hijack

[Mariner]

Not a problem as it keeps my Krampus ad live.
Yes Longitude is currently the yardstick though not a fan of horizontal drop outs. Just hoping they get a better colour scheme for 2016 - (Genesis are you listening?).
Not discounting Salsa at this stage and (shssh whisper it) even priced up shipping a S£%%*e to Argos Cycles and getting a custom paint job with braze ons. Just about doubles the frame cost so probably not a starter as it would be cheaper to change the colour on a Longitude.
This will probably be my last bike so the ability of the Longitude to adapt to two or three roles is very appealing.

Last bike - there is always electric!
