This bike was my pride and joy and lived with me for two years. It has battle scars and a few minor things that need fixing but all the above upgrades happened because I “used” the bike and improved it for reliability at every possible chance because I traveled long distances on it and often in remote places so reliability was life and death.
I unfortunately have to part ways with it because the money is needed elsewhere at the moment but in all honesty, the way I’ve cared for and built this bike up I planned on owning it the rest of my life.
It’ll make a bombproof bike for anyone and has been maintenance weekly for the duration of its 2 years on the road. $7000CAD firm (currently insured at full replacement with accessories for 12K)
(will consider throwing in all spare parts, Oxford cover, and tool tube survival/repair kits for the right buyer)
