i'm thinkin about gettin a downhill bike, but really can't afford a new bike. can't really afford a used bike either. does anyone have a bike, like 6-8 inches, that they can sell for really cheap, like two or three hundred? will consider any offer

I got an '01 Cannondale Super V that I will sell ya for $300, but it only gets 4" of travel.

Best FR bike I ever owned, period!

 

[flatulant_man]

how ridden is your cannondale? might want something with more travel, maybe with newer shocks, but i'll check it out.

 

[Jesus]

Actually, I was kidding.

Sorry, next time i'll put in a smiley.

 

[flatulant_man]

alright, cool

 

[Kornphlake]

you want something newer, with better shocks and are only willing to pay $300, keep dreamin' man. Maybe you could get a hardtail with an older z3 or something, it'd be pretty beat up though. You looking for just a frame, that might be possible.

I'm not sure how much of a bike you want, but I have a small 2002 cheeta prowler with 7" of travel. Rear shock is a fox vanilla RC that has leaked a small amount of oil. Its mostly a frame, but it includes an FSA sky pilot pro headset, XT rear derrailleur and shifter. I can let that go for about $300 because the shock mounts are slightly ovalized. Sorry, thats about all I can include. It was an amazing bike, may I include. I can throw in an extra derrailleur hangar, VERY hard to find.

i am just looking for a frame, but any parts people can throw in would be excellent

CLICK ME! CLICK ME!

:devil:

 

[flatulant_man]

common guys, just a cheap used frame is all I want. there's gotta be more people out there with old downhill frames

 

[Ruprick]

I have a 2001 santa cruz super 8 with a small crack in the brace of the swing arm. I rode it for six months after the crash and the crack stayed the same size. I'ld sell it for $300 if you payed shipping from BC.

Try ebay....you can find old weasles, prowlers, Super 8 and such for $300-$500 on a pretty regular basis.

 

[p-spec]

No offense but you well not find a frame for 300.Enywere.

There are a few here in your price range. Nothing uber-fancy, but take a look:

eBay has good stuff sometimes.

 

[flatulant_man]

yeah, there is some great stuff on ebay. thanks for showin me. but still keep offers commin. might give me somethin i like

be careful when buying a 300 dollar used DH bike. The seller was probably told NO WARRANTY at some point. There are good deals out there, but there is also alot of crap. Bying local so you can see it first is a good start (but not always an option). Making sure you get good detailed pics is another.

BTW.... ive seen lots of cracked super8's ridden hard for some time without problems. Plus i think santacruz may (dont quote me) offer a crash replacement deal on a new swingarm..... might have to be original owner though........

Good luck.

 

[flatulant_man]

alright, my parents decided that I can't have two bikes at once, so no DH bike. gotta stay with my Haro hardtail. thanks for the posts

 

[big boy]

Henry, eventhough your parents say no down hill bike, (stupid) Tom O. is sellling his ironhorse dh frame for 4 hundred dolla. The frame has 7 inches and a brand new fox vanilla. Its a pretty good deal so check it out.

 

[T0mo]

not a new shock, but it was only ridden for a few months. You should tell your folks theres nothin' they can do to stop you from buying it and that they should just give you the money so you don't turn into a crack head. Uh, yeah... thats what you should tell them. OK?

 

[Rik]

All I can say is... you get what you pay for.

 

[flatulant_man]

sometimes there are great deals out there

 

[big boy]

whats up hen? You should check out tommys frame. let me know if you want his phone number.

 

[big boy]

Oh henry, I forgot. Neil and I might be riding at gun barrel tommorow. let me know if you want to meet me out there.

Tom, what you dont realize is that henry already is a crack head. he he. :nuts: I like this smiley :nuts:
