Description
A very clean example of the high-spec Avanti Vapour 26.3, size Small.
I bought this high spec very lightweight bike new many years ago for my young son but he never (rarely) used it and then became too big for it. I was into MTB, he never got the bug!
This bike has had very little use and remains in remarkably original condition. It has never been serviced or had any work done. It retains the original Easton EA90 XC wheelset, tyres and drivetrain, making it an unusually original example of this high-end 26-inch mountain bike.
Specification
* Avanti Vapour 26.3 aluminium frame
* Size Small
* 26-inch wheels
* Tru-4 100mm rear suspension
* Fox Float RP23 Boost Valve rear shock
* Fox 32 Float front suspension fork
* Easton EA90 XC wheelset
* SRAM X0 rear derailleur
* SRAM X9 crankset
* SRAM drivetrain
* Hydraulic disc brakes
* Original tyres
* Original drivetrain
* Quality lightweight XC specification throughout
The bike has been stored for much of its life and has seen very little riding. It has now been cleaned and photographed ready for sale.
There are some small age-related cosmetic marks to the frame, but overall it presents extremely well for its age. The photographs show the condition accurately.
The suspension, gears, brakes and wheels all operate as they should in my opinion, but I have never ridden it as I ride L/XL bike size.
This was a high-end mountain bike when new, with premium Fox suspension, Easton EA90 XC wheels and SRAM X0/X9 components. It would suit someone looking for a quality, lightweight, classic 26-inch full-suspension MTB.
