Miles: under 700 total. Drive train maybe a couple hundred. Drive has been freshly cleaned. Bike comes with color matched touch up paint. This bike was used but not abused, therefore it does have paint knicks which have been touched up, which the pictures should show. There are no dents or dings. Buyer pays for shipping. I will personally pack the bike up and ship it via bike flights in the contiguous United States. There is a scrape on the Jones bars which I painted. Upon request I will provide close up pictures of the area if you are a serious buyer. Prior to shipment I will deflate the tires and may remove the tire sealant.

 

The brakes as you can see are hydro, the frame was not designed with the hydro cables in mind, therefore a 3m adhesive zip tie mount has been used. One fell off as you can see in the non-drive side picture. I have a new set arriving from Amazon and will have the missing one replaced. Of course if you buy it you can convert back to a cable actuated disc brake. I personally liked the stopping power of the hydro brakes.

If I have leaf anything out or you have any questions DM me and I’ll do my best to answer.

As someone who owns one of the siblings to this bike, I can attest to the fantastic-ness of the AdventureBike, as well as the killer deal Hugh is offering. The racks alone are a major upgrade to the basic model, not to mention the rest of the build.
If I didn't already have one I'd be all over this.

Well this shouldn’t last long! As a another owner of a Bantam, and having personally purchased parts from Hugh, I couldn’t recommend either any higher.

GLWS!
