SOLD Ridgeback MXK Adult/ Teen 17 inch small frame Bike - great condition.


Recommended Posts

Ridgeback MXK Small Adult Unisex Bike *Serviced* (Great Condition). ?160.


26 inch wheels. Frame size is 17 inch and would suit small adults or teenagers. Lovely shiny black colour. Some marks to frame, mainly on the top tube, but generally the paintwork is in great condition. Handlebar has a couple of spots of missing paint. (See photos). Mechanically this bike is in fantastic working order. Very little wear to tyres and brake blocks. I have serviced the bike and checked all moving parts to ensure nothing is loose and bearings are running freely. Both brake cables have been replaced and brakes and gears fully adjusted.


Ridgeback bikes are a quality brand that will give you many years of service. This model has a particularly smooth ride with front suspension, a suspension seat post and a comfort padded saddle. All in great condition. No creaks or squeaks in the suspension. Please note that the position of the saddle in the photos is its lowest setting due to the spring loading of the seat post. Front suspension can be locked out at the flick of a switch if you wish to change from comfort to more straight line speed for prolonged road riding. Handlebars have an adjustable headset so that you can easily change the reach to suit your body size. Fitted with ergonomic grips.


The only issue that I would like to draw your attention to on this bike is the small bolts for attaching a bottle cage are not usable. You could still attached a strapped cage. Two of the bolt housings have come loose from the frame. One is also stuck very slightly out. See pic. Neither of these issues effect the structural integrity of the frame or the quality of the ride. Message me for more pics.


Bike has been cleaned and lubed ready to ride. Can be collected now from London, West Dulwich, SE21. Thanks for looking.

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
