Mountain biker finally owns mountain bike *EMOTIONAL*
So much emotion!
Dicing with death on that front semi slick
thats what I thought, in the back its great but in the front? Bit twitchy for my liking lol
Oh i slipped once with a bad front tire, opened my knee up real good (i was on my way to a trail on wet road not even in muddy conditions 💀)
Ikr, i've already swapped it out haha 😂
@@willgreenfield but on the back it's a really great tyre if you ask me hahaha
But I swapped it as I punctured it all the time even though I'm riding with 3 bar lol
I ran that tyre for some time on the rear. Fast rolling and good corner grip. But teeeeerrible braking
Definitely off back of a van that 😂😉 Good to see you back bro! Get yourself up here at some point 👊
😂😂
Haha naaaaah 😅😂 thanks brother, and yeah for sure, wanted to come on your ride but it's a mad long way for me 😭
A lot of Comp Alloy's on Facebook are on the $2,000 mark, so for you to buy a carbon framed Stumpy comp for less is an amazing deal Indeed. Congrats. Hopefully that or a Canyon Spectral 29 will be my first "real" mountain bike.
Thanks, that's what i was thinking, crazy deal! And oh yeah that would be sick, both great bikes for sure! Cheers for watching :)
i sold my comp alloy for like 1300 lol
Beautiful mate
Thank you brother!
even if you would have to service suspension / bearings / breaks and drivetrain was worn out this still would be a low price.
yeah exactly! So happy with it... thanks for watching!
I love this bike. Excited to see some content on it🙌
thank you bro, glad you like it!
Congrats with new bike! For that price it's a gift 🎁
Thank you bro, and yeah i agree, got lucky!
What a find! Great to see you making riding content again… or planning to! 😂 Hope you’re well mate.
Thanks Chris! hopefully will be loads more riding content coming... and likewise bro!

Sick bike good price looking forward to seeing you shred it
Thank you! Glad you like it :)
Sales are cheap, best time to buy. You got a steal bro. Nice bike. I work with lot of carbon the heel rub stuff is Purley cosmetic. Nice find.
Great time to be a buyer, terrible time to be a seller! Cheers for watching bro!
ive got the same set up, with the fox factory 34 upfront, otherways exact same! great bike!!
Siiick! Had any issues at all?
Epic buy mate im all for bargain hunting and being willing to travel is a must if your looking for good prices
thanks bro! And yeah for sure, just adds to the experience going on a roadtrip haha
great video!!!!!!!!!!!! shave looking clean too
Thanks g, miss ya
You told a great story!
thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video
Thats my dream frame. Very Nice bro congrats.
thanks bro, cheers for watching!
Your a legend
nah you are! Cheers for watching!
The deals out there atm are crazy!
I know right, great time to be a buyer... terrible time to be a seller :/
One step closer to XC my man 🎉
Jus tryna be like you 🫵 ma boi
Built up my carbon evo 2020 for 1200 ish, all from pinkbike and fb. Solid deal you got there too
oh yo that's a bargain! what type of spec did you built it with? cause that is also very low cost... thanks for watching!
bike looks very nice
“Decided to leave sonsorship” 😂 specialised cut a bunch of influences back then they drop so many
None of the UK ambassadors got dropped 🤷♂️ but they did drop a lot of riders in the rest of the world it's true. No need to hate, JP... No one likes ppl that spread negative energy 🤔
Congrats on the stumpy!!
cheers man! Thanks for watching!
@@willgreenfield of course dude. Thanks for making the video.
nice vid, nice memes, 10/10
Thanks brother! Appreciate u 🙏
That’s a banger deal
init so happy with it!
The bird shit is just epic, c'mon man
We found a Cannondale habit 2 carbon 2021 for my son at about the same price but it was pretty beaten up I had to change the BB and complete bearing service, the font left stanchion was scratched but we "fixed" it with the overpriced kit 😂
haha very epic!
and nice those cannondale's are really nice, shame it was a bit beaten up but luckily it was just bearing-related stuff... and oh yeah fork stanchion damage hurts the soul :'(
My fave youtuber about the bosh 2024 up the boy
Love u bro
The only issue with a carbon fibre frame is unless its been scanned you don't know the internal state of it. The seller might have sold it because he had a big crash and has no trust in the bike anymore.
Agreed. I'd never buy a second hand Carbon bike.
luckily spesh has 2 year 2nd hand frame warranty and it's still within that time for now!
What a result. I'm off to marketplace 🏃🤣
haha so many deals atm, time to cop something
Great bike and price, I have never seen wear on the rear frame like that before
Thanks! And yeah it's very common from heel rub, especially if you ride in the mud a lot as the mud/grit acts like sandpaper between your shoes and the frame :'(
Deffo buy the longer shock linkage off cascade and put the forks up and you will like the bike alot more! Steal for that price for a 21 thats 17 price
Only discovered this out yesterday but i measured the fork and turns out its actually 150mm already! Previous owner must've decided he wanted more travel...
Tempted to grab the Spesh mullet link and try that setup, which increases the rear to 135mm travel also!
Cheers for watching man!
@willgreenfield yeah they also look sick aswell ive seen good things from them! Bonus then mate, no worries lad keep ripping it 👊🏼💨
I got a cube stereo HPC race with all fox factory suspension & transfer dropper (carbon front triangle) all bearings needed replacing and frame about to snap for £1150… you’ve got a bargain
i mean to be fair that still sounds like a bargain... hope the frame didn't actually snap in the end though? cheers man!
@@willgreenfield it did snap! Upgraded to a Giant Trance E + 2 2019 ordered a new battery can’t wait to ride it
@@Ethanlf19 oh shit bro sorry to hear that, that'll be a sick upgrade tho!
in morocco if u want to purchase one of these I mean carbon one it costs around $600-$1000max used (not Chinese)
and i like the doggies and rainbow allen keys
I can confirm the phone call, and I can also confirm I still think he stole it. 😂Quality video 😂
Glad u can confirm it wasn't fake news AP
Great Price!
agreed! Thanks for watching!
Nice. Don’t use a torque wrench myself, (plus my bikes are alloy), but maybe I should???
Thanks! And to be fair even if your bikes are alloy, a lot of bolts on parts recommend/require a specific torque when tightening, so might be worth it... 🤷♂️ honestly i just find it super satisfying knowing my bolts are exactly as tight as the manufacturers intended 😂
Bargain, glad you own a bike again 🎉🎉
Thanks brother, now we can ride soon 🫡
Wow, its def best value i ever seen. Its cheaper then my deal for stump evo wich was 2000 dollars (only frame 😂)
that's what i thought! And how do you like the stumpy evo?
also cheers for being subscribed for 6 years!
Really nice bike,well capable trail tame'er, ditch the rubber though for something more suitable 😊
Thanks man! And yeah it was the first thing i did before i rode it, got some proper rubber on now! Cheers for watching
I love bikes
me too
Maybe the bird shit was for good luck😂😂
haha hopefully!
They quite regularly go for between 1300 and 1600 in the uk I’ve been looking at one
Not with this spec/suspension they don't sadly
is the clutch on the Shimano derailleur in the off position? Have fun with the bike
Haha yeah forgot to put it back after i got the bike out the car 😅 cheers!
Wwwwait a damn minute this guy said 6”1. 🧢🧢🧢
you would be too if you fixed ur posture lil homie
Where did you buy that bottle cage?
kept it from an old bike i had!
2024 is the year of biking
We back baby
i got a 1100€ yt 2018 wiht a zeb ultimaten fox dhx2 carbon weels bar and frame cranks to all carbon
nice deal bro!! Thanks for watching
Always be very caucious when buying second hand! My bike looked spotless online but had a big dent, scratches, wrong chain routing and hub and fork broke after a short time
Yeah i bought a bike in person drove 2hrs bought it because of fomo. Found out the shock was blown the wheels were broken. The person didn’t even give me a discount on the account that it was in “perfect” shape. Wish I didn’t jump the gun but man is it hard not to drive hours and come home with nothing. Wish people were truthful when they sell bikes. One they can seriously harm second scam the buyer because they just want something new to them. Smh
@@ark530abe yeah we also drove kinda long during covid, bike is solid though, unluckily I was never really happy about my purchase though
Sorry to hear that happened to you!
yeah i do a lot of digging before buying used stuff now... ask a lot of questions beforehand, ask a lot of questions when i look at the bike, check all welds on alloy bikes or areas of stress on carbon bikes, look for signs of the bike possibly having a hard life, like replaced rims or stuff like that... can never be too careful!
Top price 💥
so happy with it! Cheers for watching
That’s a steal, no literally someone stole it 😂
looool thankfully not
In Germany, you get a hardtail (aluminum) with like Shimano Alivio, Sr Suntour xcr steel forks, mechanical disc brakes and stuff like that for like 700€ 😂😂 so this was an insane deal. But I've made one like that too. Got a steel Hardtail with Mavic Crossrides, Magura MT 4, Rockshox Reba RL 140mm and SRAM NX for 200€
I mean thats a steal! Did you check if it has a dodgy past. Knew someone who ended up loosing their bargain bike because it was actually reported stolen and someone spotted it. So they were left out of pocket and without a bike...
Yeah dw i made sure it was legit before buying!
Does anyone know what brand that torque wrench is?
Lifeline £40 from wiggle
@@OnlyDans848 thanks very much!
Holy, i sell my Radon Swoop from 2018 for this Prize in Germany 🎉🎉🎉
seems like i got a good deal then! Cheers for watching :)
@@willgreenfield thank you for great content. Greetz vom Germany
i liked the video when you told me the price in euro
🤝🤝🤝
Looks a decent buy and id be happy at that price.
No beard as well, takes years off you.
thanks boss! And haha i feel 17 again
Why did you leave the contract with spezialised😂
One of the main reasons was that i wanted more freedom to create content on whatever i wanted, not just Specialized-related content.
I got a trek fuel ex 9.7 2014 carbon fibre for £560
Nice deal!
1.4k ???? shit was robbed😂😅 anyway nice deal
going off what i could see with the bike i guessed 1.5k so i was close 👍
Not sure how you managed to guess that haha! The RRP of the fork and shock alone is almost worth the price i paid for the whole bike 😅
@@willgreenfield the 2nd hand market is all over theres alot of amazing bikes that just arnt selling for there worth , and ebikes seem to be taking over the market aswell😬
Mate, thats definitely nicked. Carbon stumpy, 3 yr old, factory suspension, and you bought it in brum.
More red flags than a chinese new year parade.
haha dont worry brother i ask a lot of questions before buying used bikes haha, got the proof of purchase with it and everything
who puts a semi slick as front tire XDD, great looking bike tho ;)
thats one of the things i used to judge how how hard the bike had been ridden... there's only a limited amount of trails you can comfortably ride with a semi slick front tyre!
And thanks bro!
Where can I get a cheap MOOTS Titanium mountain bike 😁
never heard of that brand actually
@willgreenfield 😳MOOTS is one of the Biggest producers of Titanium frames in the world. They're based in Colorado 🤘🤘
Bro I payed that much for an alumium giant reign from 2015
still a very cool bike though, yours was probably in better condition than mine
@@willgreenfield nah, it wasn't, yours looks completely new apart from the paint rub - mine was well-used. but we are talking about the whole pandemic situation and for that time it was a solid deal
Rule number one of life, never buy anything from Birmingham 😂
😂😂😂
Sounds stolen bro 😂 unreal tho
haha thankfully not! Cheers boss!
@@willgreenfield Only Joking but what a rig for the price dude well done 🙌
What was the catch you were talking about? Worn out seatstays?
Yes, the hidden scratches
I see, seller didn't tell you about them? What a weird spesh fanboy. Still a steal though.@@willgreenfield
Nah, and wait who's the weird spesh fanboy? 😂
