USED. This came off a retro Gary Fisher full suspension mountain bike. There are marks, scratches, some oxidisation and a very small amount of surface rust on the quick release from use (See photos). It is purely cosmetic and nothing to worry about. The quick release works fine. It has been thoroughly washed and will be carefully wrapped before being posted. Great for a retro build.
To minimise the impact on the the environment, as a generalisation when we pack alot of our items for delivery, we use packaging that has used previously to pack electric bicycles. We have an arrangement where we re-use their unwanted packaging and therefore minimises the impact they have have on the environment and helps us to minimises the impact we have too. All re-used packaging is checked before use and is generally very high quality and expensive. On other occasions we re-use unwanted newspapers and or unwanted boxes from DIY suppliers. Please if possible try and reuse the packaging yourself. Thanks.
