Hi I’m selling up my medium Giant Toughroad as I’m planning on downsizing to 1 bike. The frame has all the usual wear and tear marks and there’s quite a lot of rub marks on the cranks.

It’s not on the hunt wheels any more it’s back on the standard giant wheels which are bomb proof. The back wheel does suffer from grumbly bearings from time to time but a strip and regrease normally settles them for another couple of months. Front tyre is a racing ray 29x2.1 set up tubeless. It’s pretty much new with not very many miles. The rear tyre is a continental terra trail 29x40mm. It’s tubed because there were a few punctures were very slowly leaking. Tyre could do with being replaced with in the next few hundred miles.

Drivetrain is fully upgraded shimano hollow tech 2 bb with xt chainset with absolute black 36t oval chain ring. Gearset is sram NX 11 speed running an m7000 11-42 cassette and sram chain replaced not very long ago.

Brakes are the standard fitted shimano m315 hydraulic discs sintered pads in the front and rears will be replaced once I’m out of isolation.

I’ll be advertising it elsewhere for £500 £450 for my RMS friends.

I’ll take some pictures tomorrow once I’ve given it a wash.

Very capable bike on and off road and much lighter than the equivalent MTB with suspension forks.

This is back up for sale again as I got a new frame on warranty. Still needs a few bit and pieces to finish it off which I’ll be picking up ASAP.

I serviced the rear hub and replaced the bearings and cones so the wheel is running smooth.

I’ll be advertising at £700 £650 will take it on here.

Bump the bike is ready to go haven’t taken any more pictures as it’s still in the boot of the car. I’ll get some sorted later. It’s in fantastic condition with a perfect frame as it’s literally brand new.

I’ll be able to deliver/meet up round the greater Belfast and north down areas again now lockdown is relaxed a bit again and I can go to my parents house.

@gary1365 is this a medium frame?
Would it be easy to change to drop bars and hood shifters?
I guess it needs shimano gravel shifters?

Need a bike for my imminent return to work and maybe consider gravel.

What weight are we talking?!

You need new shifters and a rear mech If you’re staying with a single front ring. You could use hydraulic brake road shifters. If you wanted a double on the front you’d need pretty much a full group set.
It weighs about 10 kilos as it is now and it’s medium @thefool1983
