Peter Grisley Signature Aluminium Mountain Bike

Over £700 when bought new.

I have had this bike from new but never really got into mountain biking so the time has come to make space in the shed.

Great specification mountain bike and a joy to ride.

17 inch Aluminium frame bottom bracket to frame seat stem (22 inch reach measurement from seatpost to handlebar stem)

Judy Hydracoil Rock Shoxon the front,but no rear suspension on this model

Grimeca hydraulic disk brakes front and rear

Triple firexfront crank and 9 speed rear cassette making 27 gears in all

Shimano Deore front gear change and Shimano Deore LX on rear derailleur

Wheels are 26 inch disk specfic Excalibur antisnake bite blue rimmed wheel (look great with the yellow frame)

Michelin tyres front and rear

Please not no pedals included in sale

Your link is broken, but presumably rather old. What exactly is your question?
Bikes have come on a long way. Depends what you want to use it for.

The bike is currently on ebay.

Used to ride alot when I was younger (teens), well until I got my first car.
About 6 years ago, I decided to update my old bike - so I effectively changed everything bar the frame, forks and handlebar.

Haven't riden it for near 3 years and want to get back into cycling. However, I do know that I need suspension (at least upfront).

My current bike is a Marin Muirwoods from early 90s, it's the yellowish colour one.

My query was ... are the components decent enough on that bike and if anyone had heard of Grisley.
I'm not looking to spend huge money on a bike but at the sometime I want itt to be as good as possible.

Riding will be mostly commuting but with some off road fun too.


I have seen some other bikes too but this one caught my eye.
