26" Challenge Furai - NOW SOLD

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

I'm off to test ride 700C Optima High Baron next week. If I get on well with the bike I'll be putting in the order. I can't afford the new bike outright so I will very sadly have to sell my much beloved Furai to fund the new purchase. The purpose of this advert is to test the water among the BHPC community. If the test ride doesn't go well the bike wont be available for sale. 
Details are below along with Flickr pictures link. Its a very high spec bike in excellent condition which comes with some additional extras. Most sensible offer closest to £1500 will be accepted. Please PM me with any questions.

Bike is not in "as-new" condition, however, it has been well maintained and upgraded. I'm sure you will agree from the pictures it is an excellent example. Although Challenge didn't produce an SL version of the Furai this bike has all the light weight options. The general spec of the bike is as below:
