You need to drop by a grand to shift it, you ruined it by putting a longer stroke shock on it, all the angles are messed up and it was never designed to take those forks, Mr Smith bought it as an XC bike with 100/125mm travel fork to match the 120mm rear travel, possibly you best bet would be to strip it and sell the parts either through the shop, ebay or on here.

 £1850 for a 14 year old Patriot XC!

 Getting a Cannondale Chase next week for my next project

 The Shifters need a flush out as they occasionally miss shift

 Alright, there is anothe rider in Kegworth then - thought I was the only one : ) anyway for a deal tomorrow will you go £475.

 If you could measure the lenght of the seat tube, the post diameter maybe on the seatpost, I am intrested as I have a shed full of bits just need a frame and fork to build them onto as its appears easier to move on a complete bike than a collection of parts and I did not wish to spent a lot of cash as I need it to move quick as there is not much room in the shed what with her Trek, my Whyte and road bike.

 What size is it and if possible the diameter of the seatpost required.

Many Thanks

 I had a 2009 Zesty the same as this that was upgraded with the following, I had XT Cranks on a 36 single ring with a MRP guide, a 11 - 36 cassette on the rear.
Wheels were Mavic 819 rims on Hope Pro II hubs, I would leave the forks on it as they really do suit the rear shock and anything else would probably upset the overall feel.
Hope this helps.

 Need to swap them over, I did have a 2.4 Ardent on the front and a 2.25 on the rear but the 2.4 might be a bit much in the mud, still tinkering at the mo

 Alright, Just wondering what the best price you can do on the frame and fork, also would the headset be included and I'm guessing thats the seatpost is a Santa Cruz standard 30.9.
Many Thanks,
Dave.

 It look like an Orange Alpine 160.

 I'm going to try and create a rear facing one for my seatpost, thinking that will be kinda cool : )

 What you doing owning a piece of the dark side

 Would be nice to have the time to clean properly but I guess the benefit of living in the UK it rains a lot, so job done.

 Dirty Boy ; )

 You mention that there has been a spray job, to what extent have they been re-sprayed, was it spray over the powdercoat or a complete re-paint.
Cheers.

 Did you have to put a picture of work on : (

 Tis a wee bit scary, looked at it a few time but aint found the bottle yet

 I just can't be bothered thats why it always rides like crap

 Take a Dremmel to the mount, that was the only way I could get my Go Pro into a decent position

 We can stop off and play on the Black when we get to it, if thats what you prefer.
