[Closed] Whyte G160.

Anyone?

Seems a decent spec for the money, struggling to find anyone who owns/owned one. Had a look at one today and I'm really tempted.

I've had a G150 as my do it all bike for coming up to a couple of years, and so far it has done everything from Swinley Forest blasts to all day adventures in the Dales. The only downside for me is that I'm quite tall so on the upper end of the large framesize. Fantastic fun to ride as well, which helps. It's certainly supremely capable.

Also got a G150 and love it, all I can describe as is "urgent". It just seems to want to "GO" all the time.

I know someone who does have a g160 and is selling it purely because she is struggling with the 1x11 set up.

If you are after a (new) 2016 works in medium then let me know

Heh. I would describe is as 'massively untroubled by anything'. Which means that I tend to add more pace to my riding whether I mean to or not!

Thanks! Exactly what I wanted to hear.

Wiggles, I could well be interested dependant on what you can offer?

Send me an email 🙂

selling it purely because she is struggling with the 1x11 set up.

How so? Gear ratios not low enough? Just add a 28t or 30t. Can't really think of anything else that could be the issue. 1x11 is far easier than 2x or 3x to operate.

The only differences I can see between the 16 and the 17 is that the 17 has a 2mm lower bb height and comes with 12 speed.

As someone who tends to go through cassettes and chains I quite like the idea of sticking with 11 speed.

what kind of deals are out there for 2016 G160 works??

Wiggles, )or anyone else who may have something to offer)
Do you still have a g160 available?

Leisure Lakes were doing the Works 16 for £3400 from memory (in limited sizes). I ended up with something else.

I would also consider the T130 - an epic do it all trail bike but maybe not enough if you're going to do 'enduro'.
