Saracen Vintage Steel MTB

Here's a lovely little hybrid / commuter in near new condition from trusted NZ brand Avanti.

It's got 3 x 7 gearing from Shimano + responsive V-brakes, bit of suspension up front as well as in the seatpost, and a light weight aluminium frame.

If you need a simple a -> b bike, or have a small friend or relative looking for a straightforward ride, this might just be the one for you. It is safe, reliable and responsive and prioritises comfort and stability. 

As stated, it is in very good condition and hasn't done more than 100km in its lifetime. Nonetheless, we've given it a little service to make sure everything is tip top. It would suit riders approx 145cm - 160cm.

Avanti Discovery 'Sport' Hybrid

On this bike, famed bike firm Cannondale says - 

"The Synapse might just be the perfect road bike. Supple and comfortable. Light and fast. Composed, capable, and easy to ride hard on all kinds of roads." 

While 'perfect' is a pretty strong word, we are sure this bike would make a great entry / mid level steed for a rider on the smaller side. 

It features an aluminium frame and carbon fork, Shimano 105 gearing (2x10), FSA chainset and Tektro dual pivot brakes. 

We have rebuilt it with new chain and cassette, cables, tube and tyres (Schwalbe Lugano), bar tape and NEW brake calipers. 

Please note that the wheels are not a match and the original Shimano front has been replaced with a (superior) Mavic Aksium wheel. 

Besides a few little blemishes, this bike looks great and rides very well. It is suitable for those around 150cm -> 165cm.

Cannondale Synapse Roadie

Here's a sweet n simple hybrid we've rescued for a new life of adventure. It is reasonably lightweight, super comfy and easy to ride. As a step-through, this bike is a little easier to get on and off than a regular frame, so is ideal for less flexible riders or those who may experience some difficulties with movement and mobility. 

It features an aluminium frame, suspension forks and seatpost, Shimano gearing (3x8) and Tektro v-brakes. We've rebuilt it with a few new parts, and the bike was in quite good condition when we received it. 

It is a medium-sized frame for riders around 160cm -> 175cm.

Avanti Discovery Hybrid

Here's a great little mountain bike from Giant, AKA the world's biggest bike brand. 

This bike features quality parts including a 3 x 8 drivetrain from Shimano + hydraulic disc brakes from Tektro + lightweight aluminium frame. It's in great condition and has been fully rebuilt with new chain and cassette, brake pads, grips and cables + some nice new 'Nobby Nic' tyres from Schwalbe. 

The bike is in great condition and is a whole lot of fun to ride. It's quiet and smooth with highly responsive brakes and fast, accurate shifting. 

It's probably an adults XS or a medium kids size bike. It would make a wonderful gift for a youngster with a desire to do a little off-road riding.

Giant Talon MTB

Relive your youth and young adulthood with this kewl and kapable steel steed from big kids bike brand SE. 

This bike will allow you to blend in with those smug fixie kids, partaking in their 'alley cats', 'bike polo', and 'smoking cones in hyde park' - little do they know that your bike is in fact packing THREE (3) gears courtesy of the Shimano Nexus 3 hub. It also has a coaster brake (back pedal brake) for mad skidz. 

This bike is a little beaten up in places but we've restored it as good as we know how. It's got a few new bits on it - cables, grips, brake pads etc. - and is running very nicely. More importantly, it looks cool and is sure to attract whichever type of people you happen to desire, unless you don't desire anyone, in which case it won't. 

It's a med-lrg frame and will suit riders around 170 - 185cm. Would make a great commuter / pub bike / weekend adventurer.

SE LAGER Street Basher

Here's a delightful step-thru hybrid in a lovely shade of purple I would call Neon Aubergine.

Ideal for those seeking a comfortable, stable and easy ride that is nonetheless fairly lightweight and agile. 

Pros: 
- Quality Shimano gearing (3x7) with wide range for tackling all gradients
- Creature comforts including big wide saddle, adjustable stem and kickstand
- Suspension forks and seatpost for a plush ride
- Wonderful, near new condition

Cons: 
- None 

This bike presents as near new, and has been fully serviced by us before becoming available. 

It is allegedly a LARGE, but I believe it is closer to a medium and should work for riders from around 160cm to 175cm.
