For Sale Giant hybrid with Bafang middrive.

[Brik]

Giant hybrid, medium size
I'm selling this bike because I don't have enough space for it due to purchasing a newer ride



There are a few options with price ranging from £150 up to maybe around £750
Viewing/collection is from Wolverhampton.
There are no issues with the bike, I just fancied something newer.
The bike is a 19 inch, medium sized, aluminium frame with steel forks and handlebars. It's from around 2005 and I've owned it since July 2022.
For £150 it will come with its original 21 speed Shimano Tourney gears with combined brake and gear levers, as shown in this picture but with a newer Selle Italia Zoo saddle, SKS mudguards and newer 700c wheels.

The tyres are Btwin 42 mm wide with puncture protection, rear one fitted less than 500 miles ago, and it has Slime innertubes with schrader valves. It also had new Clarks V brake callipers and brake cables along with new handlebar grips back in March this year.

At the other end of the pricing spectrum and for around £750 you can have the bike in its current form.
it has a Bafang mid drive ebike kit and Sturmey Archer SRF 3 speed gears.
Other highlights include :-
XLC panniers
Frame bag with tools
Frame mounted pump
Pletscher twin leg, left side folding, centre mount stand
Bikil front light, 2400 lumen, usb charging (6400 mah replaceable batteries)
2 Cateye rear lights
Sturmey Archer indexed thumb shifter
Lekkie Bling Ring (52T front chainring), fitted 8 months/1,250 miles ago
Colour screen (DPC-18) with usb output to charge phone or other device
Removable 20 Ah battery with another usb output

Also comes with spare parts including:-
Brand new unfitted Btwin Trekkinggrip protect+ tyre
New 700c x 21 m.m. wheels, front unfitted, rear done around 250 miles
New Sturmey Archer spare axle and fitting kit including basic shifter

You can also have all of the parts needed to convert the bike back to 7 speed derailleur, and any other bits I've forgotten about.

The motor has covered around 4,500 miles and has been faultless, if I cant sell the bike as it is then I am happy to remove the motor and transfer it over to my new bike but I'd rather get a new kit for the new bike, maybe one a little smaller...
The 3 speed hub has been on the bike since April 2024 and has done nearly 300 miles, it has also been faultless but it is worth noting that the axle is a little short of the frames 'old' of 135 m.m.

The removable, rear rack mounted, 48v 20 ah battery has had around 170 charges and is still in good condition. I only use the charger it was supplied with and never leave it charging overnight. It was sourced from a UK based supplier and cost me £500.

I keep a record of how many charges it's had and start/end charge level and mileage, a little sad I know.
Oh and it weighs 5.25 kgs without the rack.

I've just fitted a new 22t rear sprocket to replace the 18t one that was on the Sturmy 3 speed.

I also fitted a new Clarks single speed chain to replace the KMC one I fitted on the 26th March this year, or 480 miles ago.
Any interest in the bike, either with or without the motor, then please get in touch to discuss options and pricing.
Cheers,
Rich.

Looks like I'll have to redo the pictures in the above post, they seem to have expired.
This bike is even more in the way now so I am prepared to listen to offers of around £500.
Cheers,
Rich.

To be, or not to be 250W, that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles
And by opposing end them. To die—to sleep,
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heart-ache and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to: 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish'd. To die, to sleep;
To sleep, perchance to dream—ay, there's the rub:
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come,
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause—there's the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.
For who would bear the whips and scorns of time,
Th'oppressor's wrong, the proud man's contumely,
The pangs of dispriz'd love, the law's delay,
The insolence of office, and the spurns
That patient merit of th'unworthy takes,
When he himself might his quietus make
With a bare bodkin? Who would fardels bear,
To grunt and sweat under a weary life,
But that the dread of something after death,
The undiscovere'd country, from whose bourn
No traveller returns, puzzles the will,
And makes us rather bear those ills we have
Than fly to others that we know not of?
Thus conscience doth make cowards of us all,
And thus the native hue of resolution
Is sicklied o'er with the pale cast of thought,
And enterprises of great pith and moment
With this regard their currents turn awry
And lose the name of action.

I don't understand Mate, you want a test ride?

The bike is still here, still in daily use and still for sale.
