2013 Custom '3D Racing' Mtb Race Hardtail - Full Shimano XT - 23 lbs - $2250 in Brantford, Ontario for sale

Due to a back injury last August, I'm forced to sell my beloved custom hardtail mountain bike.

The custom fame (3D Racing) was built by Chris Herting, one of the best custom mtb frame fabricators. Check out his history at: http://www.mtnbikehalloffame.com/page.cfm?pageid=7&categoryid=2&memberid=242

As for the 26er versus 29er debate......26er's Ain't Dead Yet!........ 26er's are just more fun and in touch with the trail....Experienced riders will tell you that a 26er is the most fun to ride. It responds to pumping the trail; it springs out of corners; it bunny hops subconsciously, and it dances around the trail. It has been said: "29ers do all the boring parts of mountain biking better than the 26er, while the 26er makes the most of the fun."
