Bike is owned by a mechanic at a bike shop here in Victoria.
Recently tuned.
Bike is in Very Good Condition, Ready to ride, no issues, frame is straight, fork is straight.
I am the second owner, I bought this bike from a person leaving Victoria.
This bike rides really nice, very smooth and very quick.
I have a lot of bikes and I'd rather someone else enjoy this bike rather than me hanging laundry from it.
Frame has a few nicks and scratches
Will ship at your expense after money has been deposited and cleared through my account.
Will not trade.
Contact me with any questions but pretty much all the information is above.

Video: Tech Tuesday - A Quickfire Run-Through on Setting Up Tubeless
additional "tricks"
1) start by cleaning the inside of the rim with isopropyl alcohol or brake cleaner to remove any oily or adhesive residue,
2) gently heat rim with a hair dryer (helps make the tape soft and conforms to the inside of the rim better),
3) heat a long 6mm bolt with a blowtorch and use this to melt/burn the presta valve hole in the tape (this prevents the tape from rupturing/splitting at the valve hole)
4) set up the tire with a tube first to max tire/rim pressure to really push the tape into the rim and let it sit for a few minutes
All these little details have made for a much higher rate of success at our shop

Review: DT Swiss FR 1500 Wheelset
The spoke nipples are trash - dt swiss please use brass proloc nipples or sapim aluminum nipples because the nipples that come on these wheels are hot garbage and brittle.
