Hey, got this 2010 Medium size Lapierre Spicy 216 under my bed and it simply never gets used. Shame as it was my pride and joy at one point. It's ready to ride out the door (although not sure with which pedals, I'll have to dig some out - no promises there). Last time I rode it was last summer and it felt as good as ever to ride back then, the bike climbs really well for one with that much travel.
It's got all the wear of a bike that old, but is mechanically sound and chock full of high end parts generally in great condition (although a little muddy/dusty). Shove a dropper tube on there and it'd be so much more fun. . This frame was way ahead of its time in terms of the slack head angle and longer wheelbase.
So off the top of my head, it's basically;
Lapierre Spicy 216 Med with Fox Float R shock (serviced in the last three years). 6" travel with sag indicator
CHris king headset
Fox Float R forks, 6" travel, no marks on the stanchions (these go on ebay for about £200 alone atm)
Hope Evo2 hubs laced to tubeless Stans ZTR Flowex rims
Saint rear disc 180mm rotor, goodridge hose
XT front disc, 200mm rotor (spare pads somewhere I think too)
XT mech, XT cranks I think although they're a bit worn.
SDG saddle
Spank bars and nukeproof stemIf someone was bothered it would be worth a lot more in parts, I think for £350 that it's worth it just for the wheels, forks and the XT groupset :P
Come give it a ride (at a distance) in peckham.

Some absolute so-and-so on ebay sent me some 700c wheels yesterday, 2 weeks after I'd bought them and despite the advert listing them as 26".
Desperately in need of some 26" wheels for this Courier Comp xmas present build I've got going on. Will pay cash (budget £40-50) or you can have these 700c ones as a swap (Mavic CXP22 rims on Shimano hubs - look decent/true). Original listing for those is here:
I'll get a refund for them if no-one on here has any to swap.
Thanks yeah bad timing! I'm moving house at the weekend so could use it gone, hence the good price :)
