Description

I am reluctantly selling my Nicolai GLF with Pinion gearbox. It is the perfect winter bike, but unfortunately, I do not use it enough to justify keeping it. The frame has a reach of 475mm, a head angle of 63 degrees, and a seat angle of 74 degrees. It pedals, climbs, and descends beautifully.

I purchased this bike to complement my Large Geometron G1, for a rider between 178-192cm. The frame is in its factory raw finish. You can see all of the geometry for the size large here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vSH9wtO70m8eZuBb6aB04nACJ1wtz0FngbZ7AmiJXDWc_2TQjKIrhzVcRQCIqTvi42VtALWn0B7KZPG/pubhtml

Specs:

- 160mm Lyrik 42mm offset ultimate fork, recently serviced by J-tech with new SKF seals. It has the Charger 2 damper, which I believe is superior to what is currently being used. It is threaded for the OneUp tool (not included).

- Currently set up with full 27.5 wheels, but can also be set up as a mullet (or can be run as a full 29 with the chain stays in the longest setting). In my opinion, it runs best as a mullet.

- Pinion C1.12 gearbox (lighter weight magnesium body) with a 600% range and even steps between gears. It is still under warranty, and I will give it an oil change before the sale.

- Pinion CNC cranks

- Rear wheel: Hope Pro 4 single speed/trials hub with lots of engagement on Stans Flow (27.5).

- Front wheel: Either Hunt Trailwide (27.5), or Hope Pro 4/Stans Flow (29).

- Ergon Enduro saddle, OneUp 210mm dropper, SQLab bars.

- Pinion shifter and Ergon grips.

- SLX brakes (4pot front, 2pot rear).

- Pedals not included.

I am also willing to split and sell the frame and Pinion gearbox, cranks, and sprockets separately. I am based in Sheffield and would prefer collection if
