cheeky cunt aren't I? if you don't ask you dont get!
Well that one was a 2008 Epic Expert. We still have our 2007 Epic Expert there aswell just lying around not doing much

i used to drool over that bike in our local shop. i guess it's in top condition then? how much could you get me that for?
Well its in ok condition, all working and everything. I "borrowed" a few bits for my bike off it
Just like mine, it hasnt been used for a while, so its nice and muddy, needs some new tubes etc. But after a clean up it would look exactly like mine (appart from its an amber/orange colour!)
What size are you? Its a medium. And im really not sure, the boss has nice days and has bad ones! Maybe arround £600 if you are lucky!

I used to use Nokian mud tyres that were so tough they could be used at 8 psi. Not too good if you want to rid the bike up a hill because they were a bit heavy

Bloody nice bikes, have rode one before. They can climb just as good as they can come back down.
We are a Lapierre dealer, we have the new one in with the carbon rear end such a nice bike!

Pretty much what you see. Its hard because the manager is seriously tight. We only get 20% off ourselves, we used to get trade but he decided he wants to make money off his staff, lovely.

Thats a bit harsh on the staff. I have a mate that works in a bike shop and he gets everything trade. Thats where I got my current one from
He only sells Scott, Kona & Gary Fisher really thats the problem... dont really want any of their offerings
