FS: BIG BOY Ventana El Rey 29er Complete or Pieces---23"

[echelon_john]

Hi all,
I figure with all the freakishly tall---er, vertically gifted---individuals here this is worth a shot! ; )

This was a winter/spring build project but a back injury means I'm not doing much (read: ANY) mountain biking, so this has to go. It's in new condition; has been assembled and test-ridden only.

What it is:

23" Ventana El Rey Full Suspension 29er.
- Fox RP 23 Pro Pedal Shock
- Fox F29 FIT RLC fork, 100mm travel, uncut
- Stan's NoTubes wheels; Flow rims on ZTR Heavy Duty hubs, front 15QR
- Hutchinson tires w/Caffe Latex
- SRAM 1070 cassette
- XTR 180mm crankset & BB
- XTR pedals
- Avid BB7 brakes w/180mm rotors
- Avid Speed Dial levers
- SRAM X-9 Twist Shifters & rr der
- XT front der
- Chris King HS
- Thomson Elite seatpost & X4 110mm stem
- RaceFace Deus bars
- Oury grips
- Turbo saddle (only used part; optional! ; )

Asking $3500 complete to VSalonistas plus actual shipping; meetup/pickup in New England works for me.

Potentially willing to part out somewhat; ideally
- Frame
- Fork
- Wheels/Tires/Cassette
- XTR Cranks/BB
- XTR Pedals
- Bars/Brake Levers/Shifter/Grip package

First priority will go to complete sale unless a few folks want the bits now.

This is a big bike--pictures show an 85cm saddle height. Weighs in just under 28lbs complete--pretty good for its height. 25.4" ETT, 23.4" ST C-T. Standover 32". For reference my PBH is 94-95 and this is perfect; could go up or down a couple of cm pretty easily.

Sorry, I'm to vertically gifted.

Nice though, very nice.

I wish I had
a. The money
b. The time to MTB more
So that I could justify this. (but just in case--want to trade me for my waltworks? Rats, I didn't think so).

John:
If you don't have any luck selling it complete I may be interested in the fork.

PM here or email me chad at nirma dot info.

Good luck, sweet bicycle.

If I were more "vertically gifted" I'd be super interested. I could use the pedals, though...in case you part it out. Cheers.

Wow. Nice freakin' build. I just sold my El Rey to a buddy (got a deal I couldn't refuse on a Turner Sultan) -- he loves it. Still have two Ventanas-- a mountain tandem and a mountain SS. Sherwood is the real deal-- builds great bikes and is a hoot to talk to. If you're a biggin' , this is a screaming deal.
